Twice a week, we should also give our hands a mini home spa treatment. This is very easy and cheap to do and requires nothing more than the ingredients straight out of your pantry. First, wash your hands and pat them dry. Then, take the juice from one lemon and squeeze all of it into a small bowl. Dip your fingers into the bowl and continue to rub the lemon juice all over your hands. The lemon juice will clean off any nasty stains from your cuticles and leave your hands feeling smooth and silky. After you have thoroughly cleaned your nails and fingers with the lemon juice, fill up a bowl of warm water and mix in a tablespoon of cornstarch. After the cornstarch is well mixed and appears dissolved, soak your hands in the bowl for 5 minutes. After five minutes, clean off your hands and massage your hands with a good hand moisturizer. Kiehl’s makes a great hand moisturizer and it has a subtly beautiful scent! Take these simple steps to improve the health and appearance of your hands in the long run!
