Beautify Your Hands With Weekly Homemade Manicure

Your hands are among the most useful parts of your body. You use your hands to do things and express feelings. Just think about how you’ve used your hands today, because they often face harsh treatment, hands need extra care to keep them looking good and soft.

Try to protect your hands whenever possible. A good way to start is to wear rubber gloves when you’re cleaning or washing dishes with harsh soaps or cleaners. Also make sure you dry your hands well if they have been in water and the most important thing, apply plenty of moisturizing cream to keep your hands soft, especially in winters.

A weekly manicure will keep your hands and nails in good condition. It won’t take long, so try it once a week. Use the following steps,

First, lay out everything you will need; a nail brush, pumice stone, pair of nail scissors or nail clippers, emery board or filer, bowl of warm soapy water, cotton swabs (cotton buds), and a hand cream.

STEP ONE:
Wash your hands thoroughly, using the same sort of soap that you would use on your face.
