Our hands are important for all our activities. Hence they become more vulnerable to attacks and various pollutions such as certain chemical products. Different women have different skin types.

A good sunscreen will protect your hands from the harmful effects of the sun’s UV radiation. If it is not possible to use sunscreen for some reason then you can wear a pair of gloves when you move out of the house.

Exfoliate your hands

We assume that scrubs are effective only on the face and lips. When you apply it to your hands they help eliminate dead cells and soften the skin while erasing the traces of aging.

Mix it well and then spread it on your hands like you were putting cream. Rub it gently. Leave it for 10 minutes. Rinse in with Luke warm water. Do this every week for optimum results. Read about how to exfoliate your skin here.
