Hands And Nails Care

Like your neck, your hands can mercilessly reveal your age. That's why, all year round, they require a lot of special attention. once more, prevention is better than cure.

Four enemies that have to be overcome

• Sunshine
  To prevent brown liver spots, always put sun block on your hands before going out. Keep several tubes or pots of it handy: in the hallway the care, your office desk. Wear gloves when driving to protect your hands from the sun.

• The cold
  From the very first signs of winter, use a hand cream particularly rich in moisturizing agents. Never go out without gloves. If necessary, treat your hands to a 'mask': apply a thick layer of cream and then wear cotton gloves for an hour or two. A night at home in front of the television is an ideal time for this.

• Detergents
  Never wash dishes or cloths without wearing rubber gloves. You can buy very thin, supple ones.

• Dryness
  Wear thin cotton glove when doing the housework because dust dries up the hands. If you handle large amounts of paper at work, put on cream during the day as paper absorbs the skin's natural moisture.

Keep an eye on nails
Long nails may continue to attract some men but they do tend to make you look older. It's better to keep them quite short, cut squarish and inspect them every day. As for nail polish, forget about all the dark shades (brown, dark red, blue, etc.) even if they are in fashion, because they are certain to make you look like a witch. Use transparent polish on a daily basis and keep color for your evenings out the town. Never use pearly nail polishes. They do not suit anyone and certainly not you.
