Just like your face and body, your hands need to be exfoliated too. Use a sugar or salt scrub every two to three weeks to slough away the dead skin cells. Your hands will be smoother and softer. Use a moisturizing soap and make it a habit to immediately put on hand lotion after washing your hands. If you keep a pump bottle of lotion next to your sink in the bathroom and kitchen, you can easily apply your moisturizing lotion and keep skin hydrated. When spending time in the sun, don't forget to apply sunscreen to your hands too!
If you eat a lot of oily fish or take fish oil supplements, your hands will feel softer and smoother. Sardines, mackerel, fresh tuna and other oily fish contain essential acids - the good fats. EFAs keep your skin moisturized and reduce inflammation. They also do double duty because they're great for your heart! Whether you do it at home or head to the salon, a manicure will keep your cuticles moisturized and your nails healthy. Healthy, well manicured nails will make your hands look younger too.
