Taking care of u're hands..

We all are worried about pigmentation on our faces, uneven skin.. but do we pay attention to our hands? As cliched as it may sound..hands *do *show the first signs ig aging.

How do u take care of u’re hands.. how often do u get a manicure done? What products are u loyal to?

Re: Taking care of u're hands..

I don't get manicures done. But I HAVE to apply lotion to my hands after washing them. I apply it often during the day so I run out of it quickly too, lol. And I try to remind myself to apply sunblock to my hand as well. And.....I think olive oil is very good for hands. It softens them up and gives them a glow. I've even exfoliated my hands with a mixture of olive oil and sugar.....leaves them soft :)

Re: Taking care of u're hands..

Have only had a manicure once, hated it. I didn't like little oriental women touching my hands. :(

I only use Carex Hand Gel and then Neutrogena Hand Cream, the Norwegian one. I use it whenever im on the train.

Re: Taking care of u're hands..

Vaseline cocoa butter lotion! Makes my hands really soft and smooth.. and it smells like chocolates!! I have to take a break from it during ramadan because it makes me want chocolates! :)

I absolutely love TBS's almond hand rescue. It softens the hand but isn't greasy at all.

Share any other hand creams/lotions that you can carry in a bag, doesn't leave oily slick, and isn't too pricey.

Re: Taking care of u're hands..

i don't get manicures done. i use hand-cream often which is always in my bag. keep my nails tidy and clean.

sometimes esp in winter when my hands feel dry i use lots of vaseline over my hands and wear gloves straight away for a few hours or over-night. learnt this tip from somewhere and hands become so soft afterwards.

Re: Taking care of u're hands..

I loooooooooooooooooooooooooove getting manicures done!!!

I get manicures every three weeks or so and pedicures once a month.

I make sure to moisturize my entire body as soon as I get out of the shower, my feet are never without lotion.

i love getting manicures n pedicures n i absolutely love french tips i do it myself wid sally hansen kit..i keep my hands moisturized with bodyshop olive body butter n i make sure i always use sunblock before steppin out in daytime

Re: Taking care of u're hands..

i need to pray, so i cant have manicure done...so i use a nail buffer..it works perfectly ;)
and just apply lotion to it 6-7 times a day :)

Re: Taking care of u’re hands..

^yup! i love nail buffers. I love nailpolishes too but i only get to wear them one week once a month :bummer:

Re: Taking care of u're hands..

I'm off for my first ever manicure professionally.. actually manicure altogether! I'm so scared! It was a rash decision, and i just booked an appointment this morning. D= My hands arent the most neatly kept either, which will be embarassing indeed!!

Re: Taking care of u’re hands..

LOL sahds you bafoon it will be fine :smiley: Do you want me to come with yu to hold your hand? :wink:

Re: Taking care of u’re hands..

I dont do anything for my hands :@:, maybe i should start :bummer:

Re: Taking care of u're hands..

  1. im following gina's lemon advice for my knuckles(they are dark, getting better though)
  2. and using sugar+olive oil as scrub
  3. moisturising cream (dove or vaseline)

you are right , nothing better than oil olive for skin (hand, face ...)
in the period when lived our prophet SAW poeple did like oil olive bath ! they put in all their body during one night , they sleep and when they wake up they take shower, and their skin is always soft !

Inzi.. it sucked! She manhandled my hands.. and she werent really paying attention. :frowning: :frowning:

Re: Taking care of u're hands..

my nails and cuticles suck, I pick at them every chance I get :(

I get manicures whenever I get time and remember to do so.

I also don't like acrylics anymore

Re: Taking care of u're hands..

I'm such a sinner when it comes to hands....I never do anything to take care of them and I've never had a manicure :/
But I have recently started taking care of my feet so when I'm massaging the olive oil in, I make sure I rub some over the cuticles of my hand nails :)

lol .. i thought i was crazy to do that ... lol ... good to find someone else say it out ...

at night i rub vit E cream on my hands, esp around nails ... and becuz i cant keep my retarded attention away from hands ... i always have a nail-filer around me!

Re: Taking care of u're hands..

hmm
once I was looking outside while taking weight off the stand, stand flipped and I got many stitches on my hand, with out local anesthesia. I don't do that any more.

Once I put steal cable in power out let, my hand burnt, I don't do that any more.
Once I took bulb out from a fridge and put my finger in the holder, got shock. Don't do that either.

hmmmm that's basically how I take care of my hands.
