CHENNAI: Taking care of your hands is important for maintaining soft and healthy skin. Here are some simple hand-care tips.
Proper handwashing technique
Wash your hands with mild and moisturizing soap for at least 20 seconds, making sure to clean between your fingers and under your nails. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel.
Moisturize
Apply a good quality hand cream or lotion after washing your hands and whenever your skin feels dry. Look for products that contain ingredients like shea butter, glycerin, etc.
Nail care
Keep your nails clean and trimmed. Avoid biting your nails, as this can introduce bacteria into your mouth and damage your nails and surrounding skin.
Avoid overwashing
While it's important to maintain good hand hygiene, try not to overwash your hands, as excessive washing can lead to dryness and irritation.
Protect your hands
When doing household chores or working with chemicals, wear gloves to protect your hands from harsh detergents and chemicals.
