While most people have chosen to pick up new hobbies during the coronavirus pandemic enforced lockdown, many others have also taken this time to give their house the deep cleaning it really needs. Now, let's be honest, doing such household chores can take a toll on your hands and make the skin on them rough and dry. This can also significantly diminish your hands' appearance and can also make them look dehydrated. So, if you're looking to make your hands beautiful and soft again, here are some tips that will help.

All the steps involved in a manicure are curated specifically to make your hands feel soft and look smooth. So, give your hands a much-needed manicure session. It'll involve soaking your hands in warm water, moisturising your hands, massaging them, filing your nails and then painting your nails. The best part is that you can even do this easily at home so it'll also save the cost of going to the salon.

As we mentioned earlier, your hands tend to get rather dry and dehydrated if you don't look after them properly. This can make the skin look older and more wrinkled. One way to get rid of the dryness is to regularly scrub your hands so that the dead skin cells get scrubbed away. It'll help your hands glow again and will also give them the smoothness they need.

We all love a good head massage or a body massage or even a facial massage. So, why should your hands be exempted to it? Give your hands a good massage regularly and you'll notice just how better they'll look and feel. Massages can also improve blood circulation which can give your hands the glowing boost they need.

When your hands are dry their surface will feel rough and in some cases, you might also notice your skin peeling off. This means that your hands are pretty dehydrated and what they need is some moisturising. So, opt for a good moisturiser and apply it regularly to your hands. It'll help keep the skin on your hands hydrated.

We all love a good warm bath but do you know the effects scorching hot water can have on your skin? When the water is too hot, it can strip your skin of its essential oils which can make your skin prone to drying out faster. Always opt for either lukewarm water or cold water to wash your hands and your body.
