Your hands get continual abuse. From the environment, from the work you do, from the sun and often from a lack of care.
Your hands will be the first place to show visible signs of aging. Your skin is finest on your hands and as such will dry out, become wrinked and crepe and you may see a few sun spots appearing.
You can offset signs of aging and damage by undertaking a simple care routine that will protect these areas and keep them looking good.
Here are some quick and easy actions you can build in to your schedule:
When taking a hot bath or shower take time to gently push down your cuticles. This will ensure you do not get over grown cuticles on your nail bed.
Avoid picking the skin around the base of your nails as this will cause damage to the living part of your nail, resulting in ridges, raised lines on nails and eventual deformation to the nail bed.
Apply a drop of oil nightly to the cuticle area on both hands and feet to keep nails moisturised and nourished. This will give you stronger nails which are a lot less brittle.
When going to bed apply a thick layer of hand cream to hands and foot cream to feet and put on a pair of cotton gloves and cotton socks to keep hard, dry skin at bay.
When you’ve had a manicure, to keep your varnish looking fabulous for as long as possible apply a clear top coat every two days to protect nails from chipping and keep your colour looking fresh.
Use an acetone free nail varnish remover to stop your nails from drying out.
Ensure hands are thoroughly dried after washing to stop damp patches of skin drying out.
Keep a tub of your favourite rich hand cream by all the sinks in your house you use regularly. Make it a habit to apply everytime you have submerged your hands in water. Keep a small tube in your handbag for when you are away from home.
