HAND CARE TIPS
It is fact that hands reveals the age more than face do. The skin on the back of the hand is extremely thin and sensitive and there’s even a subcutaneous layer of fat to support it. Whereas the skin on the palm is thick and tough. The palm has no sebaceous glands and thus no natural lubrication, so the skin is dry and can be rough. You can face wrinkle problem on hands quite quickly, especially beautiful, long, thin and soft hands become older look early as compare to hard hands. So you need to make them young as early as possible with proper care of your hands.
DAILY CARE
Your hands are daily exposed to many external influences (sun, cold, soap, etc.). Therefore, use a hand cream every day. Always rinse your hands immediately well after you’ve worked with detergents, dry them and coat them with a nourishing hand cream.
CLAMMY HAND
Everyone has suffered from damp, sweaty hands, for example, if you’re nervous. That in itself is not so bad, because it usually disappears quickly. But if this is often the case with you, wash your hands frequently with cold water and then coat them with a neutral oil skin containing a few drops of essential oils of menthol, mint or thyme.
PROPER REST
Your hands contain a large number of small parts: muscles, joints and nerves. When you’re working intensely with your hands, for example, the computer puts a lot of press on hand. Take regular rest and relax your hands as much as possible

NAIL CARE
Your nails form a very important part of your hands and they too need to be well taken care of. Well-kept hands, with neat, clean and healthy nails, are a pleasure to behold. On the other hand, dirty and poorly kept nails will make your hands look ugly, even though the latter are healthy and well cared for. In other words, we can say that for your hands to look beautiful, your nails need to be strong and healthy. For the purpose, you need to undertake certain steps, such as cleaning your nails on a regular basis, treating the cuticles properly and keeping the nails well moisturized. Go through the hand nail care tips given below and know more on keeping you nails well nurtured and full of healthy shine.
NAIL CARE TIPS
- To harden soft nails, soak them in warm olive oil for about 20 minutes, on alternate days.
- To remove stains from your nails, mix one tablespoon of lemon juice in a cup of water and soak your nails in this liquid for a few minutes. Then, wash off with warm water and apply a hand moisturizer.
- It is not a good idea to remove the cuticles from your nails, as it will make the nail susceptible to infection. Rather, you should make use of good quality cuticle oil and gently push back the cuticles, with the help of an orangewood stick.
- Try to stay away from acetone polish removers as much as you can and stick to the one that make use of acetate. Still, try not to use a polish remover more than once a week.
- In case you wear nail polish, make sure to give your nails a break from time to time. In other words leave them without polish for a few days, every now and then. Otherwise, they will develop an ugly, yellow tint.
- If you want to give a natural sheen to your nails, just like the colorless base coat, rub petroleum jelly on your nails and then buff them, with the help of a soft cloth.
- If you have brittle nails or split or dull nails, then increasing your consumption of Organic Silica, Vitamin B (especially B5) and MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane) will surely help.
- Never ever resort to nail biting, as it is extremely destructive for the nails as well as the cuticles. If you are in the habit of biting your nails, drop it as soon as possible.
- Whenever you wash your hands, while bathing as well as otherwise, make sure to dry the nails properly and apply a hand cream or lotion, using it on the nails as well. This is because soap makes the nails dry and brittle.
- The best time to file your nails is when you are already wearing a polish. This will prevent splitting or breaking of nails.
- If you have brittle nails, it is advisable to wear a nail polish, or at least the colorless base coat, as much as you can.
SOME NAIL ART DESIGN
Do you love nail art, but find yourself unable to do the really intricate designs yourself, especially on your non-dominant hand? I've got just the technique for you...
It's simple to do, and just takes a few things you probably already have.
Supplies:
color laser prints
scissors
nail polish remover
a fluffy paintbrush
white nail polish
clear top coat
Steps:
1. Print out your designs.
These can be digital scrapbook paper, custom designs you made yourself, or clip art you've downloaded off the internet. Just make sure it's a good size to fit onto your nails. You can print a sample copy to see if the images are the size you want. Be sure if there's text that you print a mirror image, because this will be reversed once it's on your nail.
Note: You must use a laser print for this- inkjet prints won't work.
2. Paint your nails white.
Because printers don't use white ink, you'll have to start with either a white nail or a very light-colored nail. This way, your colors will be as true as possible.
3. Cut out your designs.
This is simple enough... cut out the design from the page you printed. You can leave room around it, which makes for easier cutting and for easier application.
4. Transfer the image.
Once your nail polish is totally dry, wet the back side of the print with nail polish remover using your paintbrush. Then press the paper printed side down and press firmly onto your nail. Resaturate with polish remover a few times and press down. Make sure to press the edges as well.
5. Lift off the paper.
I saturate the paper one more time with remover, then lift one edge gently and pull the paper off. This will leave the toner from the print embedded in your nail polish. There will also be some paper, but we'll remove it in a few.
6. Let your nail dry again.
This doesn't last too long, but it ensures that your transfer won't smudge when you remove the paper.
7. Remove the paper from your nail.
I like to use something a bit abrasive like a cotton ball. Wet the cotton ball, then rub the surface of the nail to remove the paper fibers that are on top of the transfer. Once the nail is smooth and as paper-free as you can make it, dry it gently.
8. Apply top coat.
Once your nail is dry again, apply a coat or two of your favorite top coat (I like Seche Vite or ProFX). Be gentle with the first coat of topcoat, because you can smear the transfer. Try to only go over each part of the nail once.
