Although, your whole body deserves special care during the harsh winter months, your hands require extra special treatment to keep them healthy.  Your hands are one of the most exposed and used parts of the body.  Direct exposure to water, sunrays and chemicals that exist in soaps, dish-cleaners and detergents also takes a toll on hands not to mention the hundreds of things we touch unconsciously daily, your hands respond by becoming dry and lifeless very quickly.

Soft and beautiful hands add the charm in an individual’s personality, while dull and unappealing hands demote it.

Here are some tips to keep your hands beautiful and sexy during the winter season – Like a Vixen®

  1. Regular Manicures
    Show your hands some love on a regular basis and they will reward you with a healthier and beautiful look. Little things like well-shaped nails and hydrated cuticles not only look good but protect your hands in the harsh winter
  2. Wear gloves every time you go outside
    The frosty air and cold winds can dry out hands. The easiest way to protect your hands is to wear gloves. Keep a few pairs of gloves, in your car, by the front door, etc. so you always have a pair handy.
  3. Invest in some good hand cream or moisturizer
    Even if you have normal or oily skin you should go for the moisturizer that is for dry skin. That will take care of dryness and simultaneously prepare your hands for colder conditions, because you never know when the temperature is going to plummet. We have a variety of hand care products online and at the spa.
  4. Don’t use hot water to wash your hands
    Hot water soaks all the moisture and makes hands dry and dull, so go for luke-warm water rather hot water
  5. Stay hydrated
    Moisturizers alone cannot help in protecting your hands from dryness so you need to drink lots of water to keep your body hydrated. Drink 3 – 4 litres a day is ideal
  6. Use rubber gloves when doing housework
    Housework isn’t just done in the winter so this tip is really for all seasons. Use gloves when cleaning with chemicals and washing dishes. Overexposure to hot water and chemicals can strip your skin of its natural oils making them look dry and chapped.
  7. Add humidity to your home
    Using a humidifier or simply putting a bowl of water near your heaters can add moisture to the air in your house. Your skin will thank you!
