Protective Hand Care during Summer

All of us are aware that sun exposure facilitates the skin's ageing process. The body parts which show the first signs of ageing are the face and the hands as these are always exposed.

It is therefore very important to protect our hands even during our teenage years because sparing/protecting your hands from damage will keep them unwrinkled and beautiful for longer. To help you achieve this, here are some tips:

1. Smooth the back of your hands with a sunscreen lotion. This will also guard against skin cancer development.

2. Every night, apply a dot of nail strengthener to your nails and then follow with a moisturizing hand cream.


3. Before starting gardening chores, first scrape your nails over a bar of soap or soapy nail brush. The undersides of your nails will fill up with soap, acting as a barrier against dirt, grime and infections.

4. Holidays are a perfect time to experiment with nail polish colours. Tropical colours and pearly polishes look great against lightly tanned fingers.
