Every single day we use our hands to handle so many things. This may
range from papers, pot holders, sponges, steering wheels and so much
more. Just like our feet these extremities also need some time to rest
especially if we work in the office and typing is essential. Nobody
wants carpal tunnel syndrome (numbing fingers) and most especially rough
and manly palms. Just imagine shaking hands when meeting new people
,
wouldn�t it be nice to accompany your elegance with soft hands as well?
This article will give you tips on how to get soft, supple palms and
forearms without having to resort to spas and such.
Wash your hands
After a stressful day, your hands are stressed too. So, during your
night-time routine make sure you wash them with warm water and a trusted
moisturizing soap, this is to remove dirt, dust and what-not on the
surface of your tips, palms and everything in between. This is also
important for hygienic purposes, not only do you achieve more relaxed
hands you�re also getting rid of any disease-causing microorganisms you
might have contracted during the day.
Hand Spa
Hand Spas are expensive, so why not do it at home? All you need is a
bowl of warm water. You can add your favourite aroma scent to get a spa
like ambience. Next, you need to soak your hands for about ten minutes.
Also, if you have spare honey lying around you can put an ample amount
on your palms and rub them gently together. Soak again. This will soften
any hard areas and leave you hands feeling supple.
Hand Cleansing/Exfoliating
After your spa experience get moisturizing soap (bar or liquid) and put
some on a wash cloth or a soft bath stone. You can choose any
moisturizing soap that you like; recommended soaps are apricot and Aloe
Vera. Using your wash cloth or bath stone gently massage your palms, the
back of the palms and between fingers to relieve stress and tension.
Then, rinse your hands and pat dry with a soft towel.
Moisturize
The final step to achieve soft, smooth and supple hands is to
moisturize. You can use a regular moisturizing lotion, body butter or
you could opt to use a hand cream filled with minerals that help
calloused and rough hands become smoother and suppler. Apply an ample
amount on your palms and rub your hands together while massaging until
the moisturizer is absorbed by the skin.
Always remember that your hands, like your feet need spas and massages
too, especially because you always use your hands to handle so many
things and it is also easily noticed. So take care of your hands with
these easy steps you can definitely keep your hands soft, smooth and
supple without breaking the bank.
