Younger Looking Hands


A primed up face isn’t enough to make people go wondering about your age, because people do like to sneak a peek at your hands to determine your hands. So the next time you want to look younger, do remember to pay attention to your hands as well. A few precautions are all that’s needed to keep you hands looking younger forever, here’s how.

Keep them moisturized


Washing your hands too often causes the skin on your hands to dry out and become cracked. So look for a hand wash which contains a moisturizer, as this type of a hand wash causes less dryness. Next, keep a body lotion or moisturizer next to the hand wash dispenser, and rub in a drop of it after every hand wash, but before wiping your hands dry with a towel. And finally before you hit the sac, just dab on a generous amount of moisturizer on to your hands and massage it well into the skin.


Protect them against the sun


Before you step out in the sun, be sure to put on some sunscreen on your hands, to retard the development of wrinkles and sunspots on the skin. Just like your face skin, the skin of your hands suffers immense sun damage, in the absence of a sunscreen, which causes your hands to start looking older too soon.

Extra care


There are lots of specially formulated hand creams, fortified with vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, which help in preventing the formation of wrinkles on the skin of your hands. You might want to think about using the anti-ageing face cream on your hands, but it’s always advisable to get the anti-ageing cream that’s specifically meant for your hands, as the anti-ageing face cream may not be able to properly penetrate the thicker skin on your hands.

Nail Manicure..


Manicured nails are part of a finished look for many women. But with a rocky economy, personal perks like trips to the nail salon can be one of the first items on the budget chopping block. Luckily you don't have to journey to the local nail place to pamper your hands. Do it yourself at home.

1.Find a location in your home where you can relax. Light a candle or two and put on your favorite music. Gather all of your tools together, so they will be within reach.

2.Start by removing any old nail polish

3.Cut and file each fingernail to your desired length and shape.

4.Smooth out any rough edges with a buffing block.

5.With an orange stick, remove any debris on the top and underneath the fingernails.

6.Add some mild soap to a bowl of warm water. Dip the fingers of one hand in to moisten.

Apply cuticle cream to the tip of each nail and rub in gently.

Next, do the other hand.

7.Soak your hands for a few minutes in the warm soapy water. After soaking (how long is your call) gently pat dry.

With an orange stick, lightly push your cuticle away from the nail.

Using your cuticle scissors, carefully trim any dead skin. Be careful not to cut any live skin

8.Massage lotion or cream onto your hands.

Check nails and buff any rough areas.

For an extra treat, place a damp hand towel in the microwave for a few seconds, then wrap your hands in the towel for a few minutes.

9.Let your hands dry completely and polish with nail polish if you will like.
