5 Steps to Soft, Touchable Hands
5 Steps to Soft, Touchable Hands
Our hands work hard, facing sun exposure, chemicals, and pollution daily, making them prone to dryness. Here’s a simple guide to keep them soft and touchable!
1. Gentle Hand Washing
Frequent hand washing can dry out your skin. Choose a hand soap with moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera or coconut oil to keep your hands soft after washing.
2. Exfoliate to Remove Dead Skin
Exfoliate gently once a week to remove dead skin cells and make your hands smoother. Use a gentle scrub like sea salt or sugar mixed with olive oil or yogurt.
3. Moisturize with a Rich Hand Cream
After washing and exfoliating, apply a hand cream rich in shea butter, jojoba oil, or vitamin E. Apply on damp skin to lock in moisture for longer.
4. Wear Gloves for Housework and Overnight
Wear gloves while cleaning to protect your hands from harsh chemicals. At night, apply a thick layer of hand cream and cover with cotton gloves to retain moisture, waking up with softer hands.
5. Protect Hands from Sun Exposure
Sun can cause premature aging of the skin. Apply SPF sunscreen to your hands daily before heading out, and choose a non-greasy formula for easy use.
By following these steps, your hands will stay soft, smooth, and ready for any handshake or high-five!
