Beautiful Hands

You shake with them... you talk with
them... now, I want you to hand them over.
I'm referring to your hands. Next to your face, your hands are
probably the most visible parts of your body. So how come you invest
so little time into caring for them?
It's time you got a little lesson on how to handle with care. Give
these tried-and-true techniques a whirl.
-
Dry your hands thoroughly after
any contact with water.
-
Warm a cup of whole milk and
soak your hands to strengthen nails and hydrate skin. Not only is
milk loaded with lactic acid (a natural exfoliant), but it also
has a high calcium content to help strengthen fragile nails.
-
Once a week sleep with rich
moisturizer coating your hands. Warm the
moisturizer, apply it to your hands, cover them with cotton
gloves, and turn in for the night.
-
Combine one teaspoon olive oil
with the contents of one vitamin E capsule and one teaspoon
powdered milk. Massage into hands twice a week.
-
Fill a bowl with warm water, one
teaspoon Epsom salts and some playing
marbles. Submerge each hand for about 5 minutes, rolling the
marbles around. This is great therapy for "keyboard
fingers."
