Makeup and Beauty

Many times our hands are neglected the most. Always moisturize your hands well especially after washing. There is no harm in applying a face pack from time to time. Take some chickpeas flour and mix with milk and the juice of half a lemon. Apply this on the back of hands and when it is dry remove by adapting a circular movement so that it has an exfoliating action. Remember that your hands are as important as your face. So learn to look after them.
• Be sure your hands look clean, neat, and attractive. Use a good hand cream or lotion before going to bed each night.
• Nail biting is a nervous habit. Applying artificial nails may help you eliminate the habit. Regular manicures will keep your free-edge smooth and cuticles soft.
• After your bath or shower, take a few moments to care for your cuticles by pushing them back gently with a terry towel.
• Your nails should be well manicured. If you wear nail enamel of clear gloss, change or repair it whenever it becomes chipped.
• Ingrown toenails are usually caused by cutting too deeply into the comers of nails. Keep the nail slightly rounded or straight across the top.
• For score, dry hands, blend a large banana with half of its peel and a tablespoon of honey until liquidized. Apply to hands and allow to dry. Or make your own hand cream with equal amounts of lanolin, white petroleum jelly, cold cream and almond oil. Stir together with a wooden spoon—it’s easier if you soften the ingredients first for a few seconds in the microwave.
• To soften your hands rub them with granulated sugar and lemon juice in the morning. At night use rose water and glycerin. You will soon have smooth hands.
