[Beauty] Taking Care of your Hands

Happy New Year, Girls!!! ^_^

Did you know that your hands can reveal your true age? Our hands are one of the most abused parts of the body but a lot of women often focus on taking care of their face that they seldom give their hands the proper tender loving care they deserve.

So to kick of this exciting year of 2014, here's how to keep your hardest-working partners soft, smooth and youthful for all the years to come.

1. Wash with Care

Frequent washing to keep your hands sanitized can lead to dry, cracked and wrinkled hands. Make sure you wash them gently and use a cream-based bar to keep them fresh and soft and not just squeaky clean.

2. Moisturize

During the day, stay out of the sun as much as you can and use hand creams with SPF for protection. At night, make it a bedtime ritual to lather on a thicker kind of hand cream as this will act like an overnight treatment. For sensitive skin, use a water-based variety and an oil-based one for dry skin.

3. Eat Healthy

Drink plenty of water as it helps the skin retain moisture. Research has found that a diet that has plenty of vitamin C but goes easy on the fats and carbohydrates may help skin look younger [Source: Mayo Clinic]. So watch what you eat and load up on vitamin C-rich food such as chili, bell peppers, kale, broccoli, papaya, strawberries, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, pineapple, kiwi, oranges and mangoes.
