Your hand need some extra special care when temperatures rise. Exposure to the sun is the main cause of skin aging. In fact, experts believe that its responsible for 90% of the visible signs of aging. What ever your age, its essential to protect your hands from the aging effects of the sun. Here are some tips to take care of your hands in summer:
- Every night, apply a dot of nail strengthener oil to your nails, then apply your usual hand cream. You can also enjoy your beauty sleep in adjustable beds. Which isn’t a bad idea to give rest to your body.
- When you apply suntan lotion, rub a little into your nails. The oils will help counteract the drying effects of the sun.
- Before starting to do gardening, 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 infection.
- Try storing your hand cream in the refrigerator. Not only will it keep the consistency firm, but chilled hand cream will make a refreshing treat for your hot hands during the summer months.
