Beauty does not only mean healthy face and hair, but it is your all-over personality. Most people buy serums to make their face glowing, while expensive shampoos and conditioners are bought for hair, but have you ever paid the same attention to the skin of your hands and feet? Probably most people’s answer would be ‘no’. In fact, we often ignore our hands and feet, as they come in contact with sunlight, dust and water the most, so it is important that just like your face and hair, you pay attention to the skin of your hands and feet and take proper care of it.
Many times it is seen that the skin of hands and feet of some people becomes very dull or starts appearing dry and wrinkles also form. Mostly the reason behind this is ignoring the skin of hands and feet. In this article, you will know how you should take care of the skin of your hands and feet so that not only the face but also the hands and feet look beautiful.
Don’t ignore moisturizing.
In your daily routine, just as you take care of your facial skin at night, you should clean your hands and feet and apply moisturizer and if necessary, use foot cream. Apart from this, the best time is to apply moisturizer on slightly moist skin. This locks the moisture and the hands and feet do not look dry. Our hands come in contact with water and soap several times a day, so moisturizing should not be ignored. Try to apply moisturizer whenever the skin looks dry.
Be sure to apply sunscreen
To protect the face from UV rays, everything from Vitamin C serum to sunscreen is applied, but very few people would use sunscreen lotion or cream for the skin of hands and feet also. It is important that you apply sunscreen of 30 plus SPF on your hands and feet also. This also protects against tanning to a great extent. Especially if you are wearing open footwear, do not avoid sunscreen at all.

scrub once a week
Like the face, dirt and dead skin gets accumulated on the hands and feet too, hence it is important that you scrub once a week. For this, you can buy a scrub from the market or mix things like coffee, coconut oil, aloe vera gel and exfoliate the skin of your hands and feet with it. After this apply a good moisturizer.
Care of nails and cuticles
You pay attention to the cleanliness of your hands and feet, but if you ignore the shape of your nails and cuticles, your hands and feet still look bad. It is important that you keep trimming the nails of your hands and feet lightly every few days. Clean the nails along with the skin and if there are dry cuticles or dead skin accumulation, remove them. First use a cuticle pusher to push back the cuticles and then cut and remove them.

Clean the entire feet thoroughly using a scrubbing brush. Clean your hands with a soft sponge. After this, wipe with a towel and apply moisturizer.
