A Simple 5-Step Hand Care Routine To Keep Hands Baby Soft

Given the amount of work that your hands do every day, the love and pampering they receive is next to nothing, right? Most of us would have to think really hard to recall the last time we applied a hand cream or exfoliated our hands. And if over time, your hands have started feeling rough and dry, then here’s everything you need to know during your ‘Sunday self-love days.’ 

Follow this hand-care routine for super-soft hands.

1.Exfoliate 

It’s imperative to have a clean canvas before you move on to moisturizing your hands. Whip up a quick scrub with some fine sugar, honey, and lemon. Here’s the detailed recipe. 

Ingredients: 

• 3 tbsp fine sugar (not powdered) 
• 1 tbsp honey 
• Juice of half a lemon 

Go in circular motions and buff away dead skin cells, dirt, and dryness with this concoction. Be gentle, and do not rub too hard, although a little redness is expected and okay. Once done, wash your hands thoroughly with lukewarm water. 

2. Cuticle care

Rugged and dry cuticles not only make your hands look shabby, but also affect your nail growth. Use a good quality cuticle cream or oil and massage your cuticles every night. It’ll soften them and keep them healthy-looking. 

3. Moisturize well 

It’s time to finally restore all that lost hydration with a nourishing hand cream. Take 2 dollops-full of hand cream and slather your hands and fingers with it. Go slow with this process, and really take your time to massage the product. This will allow it to seep in better and the gentle pressure will relax you.  

If you have dull-looking hands, try our Mon Cherry Nourishing Hand Cream, which is enriched with brightening ingredients like cherry blossom, pearl extracts, and grapefruit to refresh, soothe and brighten dry hands and cuticles. 

Tackle dryness and roughness with Mesmerice Nourishing Hand Cream packed with rice water, aloe vera, and shea butter that shield dry skin from environmental damage, and soothe dry and chapped hands. 

If your hands have developed fine lines due to dryness or age, then nothing beats our Bravocado Nourishing Hand Cream. Since it has anti-ageing and hydrating ingredients like avocado, pomegranate and rice water packed in one, it can reverse wrinkly hands and keep them looking smooth. 

Along with delivering hydration, these hand creams also leave behind a mellow refreshing scent that you will absolutely love! 

4. Sun protection 

The skin on your hands is as delicate as the skin on your face. So, as a rule of thumb, whenever you apply SPF on your hands, take some more and go over your hands as well. Not keeping them protected against the sun’s harmful rays will make them age faster and cause tanning. Use our Bravocado SPF 50 PA++++ Sunscreen Gel to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays, infrared waves, skin reactions and sunburn. It contains a list of soothing ingredients that offer a non-sticky and non-oily feeling upon applying.

5. Limit exposure

If your hands tend to get dry really quickly, then try wearing gloves while doing the dishes, and limit your skin’s exposure to other cleaning supplies. They contain tough stain-removing ingredients that can be tougher for your delicate skin. During winters, you can apply the hand cream and then wear a glove overnight, to maximize on moisturization. It is also wise to carry a hand cream with you if you spend most of your days in AC. 

Hand care can be so simple, right? Make sure you always follow these simple steps to keep your hands baby soft!
