We take care of our face, our dress, our jewelry but we often ignore our hands.

The result is dry and rough hands that look bad and we get a little tensed with such condition. Before we jump on the tips for treating the rough hands, first take a look at the various reasons that are involved in making our hands rough and dry.

Reasons behind rough hands : -

Washing clothes : Washing clothes make our hands rough because our hands come in direct contact with the detergent which contains the harmful chemicals.

Cleaning and washing dishes : When we wash utensils, again, our hands come in contact with the dish wash soaps which may put a harm to our hands.

Cooking or household work : Various cooking procedures involve a lot of strength from our hands and we have to go through these processes on a regular basis. This makes our hands tough. Besides this there are many other household works that can make our hands rough in the long run.

Changing seasons : The changing seasons also make our skin dry and rough. Specially in winters, if we do not apply a cold cream on a regular basis, the hands become rough very easily.

To get back the softness of hands, you may try the following tips :

• Soak your hands in the mixture of mild water and milk for ten minutes. This should be done in the night time so that you do not work after following this tip. Wash your hands after ten minutes and apply moisturizer and go to sleep.

• Every night before going to sleep, wash your hands properly and massage your hands with Vaseline. This massage should be done for at least five minutes.

• After completion of the work at home you should apply coconut oil or any hand massage cream to your hands. After half an hour you should wash your hands.
