Hands Treatments

Hand Treatments: Hands are the most visible parts of you, but they also take much abuse. You can use it in daily activity, yet they are the ultimate accessory. You must give them the same attention you give your face.

# Soften your hands even while you do dishes. Add a little almond oil (about a teaspoon) to dishwater. The water will soften rough skin while the oil seals the moisture.

# Eliminate dead skin cells with a solution containing sea salt lemon. Brush it in the hand of an old toothbrush. To do this twice a week to soften hands and remove discoloration.

# Wash hands thoroughly with warm water, then, using a coarse washcloth, rub vigorously. While skin is slightly damp, apply a mixture of one teaspoon honey and a teaspoon of olive oil. Place hands in small plastic bags, then into a pair of cotton gloves for 30 minutes. The heat helps the treatment to penetrate.

# Warm a cup of milk in the microwave 30 seconds (or until hot, but nice touch). Soak your hands for five minutes to strengthen nails and hydrate skin. Not only is milk loaded with lactic acid, a natural alpha hydroxy acid gently exfoliates dead skin, but its high calcium content will strengthen brittle nails.
