Hand care basics

Your hands are among your hardest working and most visible parts of your body. Keep them strong, healthy, and attractive with these hand care tips and techniques.

You expect your hands to perform for you on demand. There aren’t many daily activities that don’t involve them. Even hands-free headsets are designed not to give your hands a rest but to free them to do something else while you talk on the phone. On top of all this work, you want them to look their prettiest. After your face, they’re the part of your body people notice most. Here are some hand-care tips to help repay them for their hard work and keep them looking as young as you do.
Grab your gloves.

Indoors, practice good hand care by wearing gloves whenever your hands will be exposed to a lot of water or chemicals (as with heavy cleaning). Outdoors, the cold winter air can quickly drain the moisture from your hands. Pull on a pair of mittens or gloves when the chill sets in. The same kind of care goes for gardening protect your hands from whatever you might dig up!

Block the sun
Your hands are easily overlooked when it comes to sunscreen on all but the coldest days they are likely exposed to the sun’s rays. Get in the habit of good hand care by putting sunscreen on them the same way you protect your face. Stash a travel-size tube of sunscreen in your purse for the times you find your hands unexpectedly exposed. If you find yourself forgetting the sunscreen, choose a moisturizer for your hands with an SPF of 15 or more.
Age spots or liver spots brown spots that appear as you age might make your hands look older than you are. They’re caused by sun exposure, so prevent them with you guessed it sunscreen. If you already have liver spots, you can lighten them with products that bleach the skin.

 

Exfoliate
Exfoliating is as important to your hand care as it is to your face. The skin on the back of your hands is very thin and doesn’t have much fat underneath. As you age, the small amount of fat that’s there decreases, which is why your veins and bones become more prominent and your skin can appear loose as you age. Exfoliating won’t bring the fat back, but it can help keep your skin fresh and glowing. Use your facial exfoliate on your thin-skinned hands instead of the scrub you use on your body.
Moisturize

For hand care, lotion is crucial washing your hands frequently (which you should do, to keep germs at bay) dries out your skin. A light, water-based, fast-absorbing lotion is a good choice for daytime use. For night you might prefer a heavier oil-based cream that can soak in while you sleep, leaving your hands soft and hydrated in the morning. If your work is hard on your hands or you’re tackling a lot of housework, start and end your day with a heavy hand cream for extra protection.


Massage.
When you treat your hands well, your whole outlook can improve. Give yourself a quick hand massage when you apply lotion. Start with the fleshy part of your hand near the base of the thumb, then work each finger from base to tip.
Give your hands a little extra attention and hand care and they’ll draw the type of attention you want, with their young, fresh, pretty appearance.

 Most people will have an occasional pimple from time to time, but you don’t have a hide your face when acne strikes. It is so common that acne affects about 80 percent of Americans 20 to 30 years old. During the teenage years, acne is more common in boys than in girls, but in adults it’s more common in women. Tired of the regular zits that keep popping up every now and then? While if you suffer from an acute acne problem, it's best that you visit a dermatologist, you can bid adieu to a pimple here and there by following these simple home remedies — just make sure you don't suffer from any allergies.

The inflammation when it turns red are the unsightly pimples that all of us dread. While a regular clean-up will reduce your blackheads.

Getting to the Root of Acne
Whether you call it acne, pimples, or zits, in order to treat the condition, it’s important to understand the causes:

• Clogged pores and bacteria: In your teens, the glands in the skin begin secreting sebum, an oily substance. This normally comes out through the pores, but in some people, sebum clogs up in the pores, allowing a bacterium, called P. acne's, to begin to grow.
• Hormones: In your teen years, hormones start changing and affecting your body, including causing acne.Hormones released during stressful times can also cause acne.
• Genetics: You may be more likely to develop acne if your parents had acne when they were younger.

• Use a gentle soap to wash your face.
• Wash with your hands, not a washcloth or “scrubby.”
