SOFT HANDS:Quick question: Why is it that when we depend on our hands for almost everything, right from taking the trash out to writing that risky text, we don’t pamper them as much as they deserve? And don’t freak out just yet but the fact is that our hands are one of the first places that reflect the early signs of ageing. The daily wear and tear don’t make things any better. So, what we’re saying is that it’s time you show your palms, cuticles and knuckles some love.
HOME REMEDIES FOR SOFT HANDS
It’s essential to treat existing dryness with intense hydration and exfoliate dead skin cells with equally intense cleansing. Let’s have a look at easy home remedies that demand no more than a trip to your kitchen.
1. Oatmeal
Why: This hearty breakfast choice is fortified with saponins which serve as intense cleansing agents and proteins that keep your skin hydrated.
How:
Step 1: Add a tablespoon of powdered Oatmeal in a bowl.
Step 2: Now add ½ tablespoon of Coconut Oil into the bowl. Mix it well and spread the paste all over your hands.
Step 3: After leaving it on for 10 minutes, wash off with warm water
2. Petroleum Jelly
Why: The key super power of this gooey jelly is its ability to seal your skin with a water-protective barrier. This means the moisture stays locked in to satisfy dry, dehydrated skin.
How:
Step 1: Before you sleep, apply a thin layer of Petroleum Jelly all over your hands.
Step 2: Immediately slip in a pair of cotton gloves to keep your hands covered for the night.
Step 3: In the morning rinse off with water.
3. Aloe Vera Gel
Why: Think of it as almost 99% water. That should pretty much explain why it’s a great agent to de-stress and hydrate cracked or parched skin.
How:
Step 1: Using a spoon, extract some gel from an Aloe Vera leaf and then blend it till it takes on a frothy consistency.
Step 2: After freezing this gel for 15 minutes, apply it on your hands.
Step 3: Leave it on for 30 minutes and then wipe it off.Read More..
