If you do care about your image, remember that your hands need to look healthy and aestheic. Everyday care is enough to achieve this!
How to take care of men’s hands and nails?
- Use a moisturising cream or lotion. The skin of a hand is exposed to frequent contact with water and detergents what may make your skin dry, exfoliate and even painfully crack. Using a moisturising hand cream protects against xerosis and make them smooth and pleasant in touch. Your partner will surely appreciate the softness of your skin when you do a massage or use a sun oil to protect her back 🙂 In winter, hand cream eliminates skin roughness and provides protection against cold. It also regenerates your skin. During summer, it is necessary to care and protect the skin against harmful effects of the sun. It is worth remembering to choose appropriate cosmetics.
- We don’t take into account any other option than the one where you wash your hands regularly. After each visit in a toilet, back home, before eating, after contact with animals and when they are just dirty. But even regular caring about cleanness doesn’t eliminate the problem of dirt or dust in fingernails fully. Use a brush to get rid of it.
- If your work requires using hands in a way which may damage them due to abrasions or the need of contact with chemicals or even water, wear protective gloves.
- Don’t bite your nails. Stop doing that if you don’t want to have ugly and ragged nails and a mouth full of disgusting and dangerous bacteria!
-
Pare your nails appropriately. If you overcome the unwillingness to use a nail file, trim your nails with a nail clipper or scissors and leave a bit of free nail edge. Too short nails may cause an infection and fingertips pain. However, they can’t be too long because it would be received negatively. If you use a nail file freely, your nail plate will be healthier and stronger. By using a nail file, you provide them with a nice oval shape, which makes them harder to break somewhere and give better dust protection. Such care makes your nails stronger.
- Don’t trim your cuticles. Repel them after a hot bath when they are soft. You can do that with your fingers, a cuticle pusher or a wooden pusher. Such treatment improves the look of hands significantly. After everything, you can use a soothing olive skin care product.
- If your hands need a complex care – make use of the help of a professional. If you go to a beauty salon, you may undergo a regenerating treatment with the use of paraffin or peeling which scrubs damaged skin (you can also do that at home). Beauty salons also offer men’s manicure.
