Whether it is to pull, push, write, caress or type, your hands are the parts of your body that you use the most. Their epidermis has little sebaceous glands, so they are naturally less hydrated than the rest of your body. In order to avoid having chapped and dry hands, here are beauty care tips to the softest hands you have ever had.
Your hands’ worst enemy is water. Be sure to carefully dry your hands after putting them in water. One little trick : put gloves on when you garden, repair or do the dishes.
To have soft and smooth hands at any time, avoid very hot water and choose a milder cleanser, that has little or no chemical ingredients. Since the skin on your hands is very delicate, you can as well use the same cleanser you use on your face, in small quantities.

Like the rest of your body, your hands will need to be exfoliated once in a while, to get rid of dead skin and impurities. Opt for a mild exfoliating gel, that you can use once or twice a week, in the shower, for example.
