If your hands are dry and chapped this winter, then they are likely in need some extra TLC. Here are my super-easy, and ultra-relaxing at-home tips to restore their moisture. You really don't have to go out and buy any fancy and expensive products, instead use what you love and already have on hand.
Six Easy Steps:
Step 1: Wash your hands with warm soapy water.
Step 2: Fill your clean sink with warm water and soak your hands in the basin. After a few minutes, gently exfoliate dead skin cells with your favorite gentle body or face scrub. Tip: Exfoliate gently because the water softens up your skin, and therefore you don't need to use any force. Note: I always deep clean my sink before I do this since I don't want to soak my hands in a dirty sink.
Step 3: Thoroughly rinse hands and empty the basin. Pat your hands dry leaving them slightly moist.
Step 4: Massage a light body or face oil into your warm and slightly damp hands.
Step 5: Massage a rich cream, body butter or balm into your hands.
Step 6: Put on cotton gloves (if you want to further pamper your hands). This step can be skipped, but it is a nice way to seal in the moisture while using a breathable fabric.

Overall Assessment: Follow these 6 easy steps to pamper and moisturize your dry hands this winter, and you will see quite a difference. I try to do this at least once a week, and in addition to deeply moisturizing the skin, it is also very relaxing and pampering.

My hands could use a good treatment. I will give this a try!
ReplyDeleteMine really needed extra TLC all winter, and these tips really helped heal my hands a lot, Nancy!
DeleteI used to have a set of hand lotions and balms. It was from, of all places, Mary Kay! I'd received it as a gift, and I loved it. It included all of these steps except the first (which was probably in the instructions, and I skipped it). I will have to look for a good balm. I have tried wearing gloves for a while, but I always end up taking them off. Thanks for the tips!

Hi Marsha, A good set of hand lotions and balms is essential for me– especially during the winter and summer months when the temperatures can wreak havoc on the skin! It is hard for me to leave gloves on for a long time, but what a difference it makes when I do!

ReplyDeleteHi Angie, You are so very welcome! I think that we all need a good reminder to take better care of our hands! They really endure so much with extremes in temperature, hand washing, use of hand sanitizers, etc.!
