The weather is warmer. The sky is brighter. Spring’s little pleasantries abound. And one thing is for certain – it’s time for those gloves to go. So don’t forget to prep your hands and nails for the season. The cold of winter can dry out your hands and cuticles and create a build-up of dry, dead skin cells. The good news is that you can restore and recondition your hands and nails with an exfoliating solution. To get those hands springtime silky and smooth, incorporate the following 10-day reconditioning plan into your beauty ritual.
10 Days to Silky-Smooth Hands and Cuticles
Exfoliate your hands every other day in the shower for two minutes per hand. Use a scrub with an alpha-hydroxy, beta-hydroxy, or glycolic acid.
Clip the cuticles. Be sure to only clip the tip or edge of each cuticle, otherwise you can cause a cuticle sore.
Treat the hands twice daily with a moisturizing-exfoliating cream. Choose a moisturizer that contains both mineral oil and glycolic acid.
The secret weapon to Beautiful Hands
You can also try a Vaseline treatment for dry hands. Simply saturate the hands in Vaseline before bed and cover with disposable gloves. In the morning just wash the Vaseline off and enjoy its moisturizing effects for beautiful silky hands.
