Beautiful, well-kept and delicate hands are important. Hands play an important role in communication. Hands tell you how you lead your life and how you take care of your body and skin.

Dry, chapped hands can be unbearable. Moreover, dry, chapped hands not only render a very uncomfortable feeling, it also makes the skin more susceptible to bacterial infections and other skin conditions. Take good care of your hands and treat them well as they are essential for your existence.

Here are few hand care tips:

• Protect your hands from the irritating ingredients of household chemicals and cleansers. Wear gloves every time you wash dishes or hand wash clothing. Wear rubber gloves while working at home and in the garden
• Constant exposure to a cold and windy climate removes precious moisture from your skin. Moisturize your hands at least four times a day.
• The simplest way to get rid of the roughness in your hands is to massage them with vegetable oil once a week, or after each day of intense manual labor.
• Cucumbers are also known for their smoothening characteristics. Mash a cucumber and massage your hands with the mixture. After 10 minutes, wash off the mash and repeat if needed
• The best way to take care of your hands is to protect them on a daily basis.
• To get rid of darkness on finger joints, use a mixture of lemon juice in barley powder. It is recommended to do this twice a month.
