Tips***
1. Exfoliate
Just like any other part of your body, dead skin cells build up on the skin and can cause the skin to look dry. Also if you work with your hands a lot you can build calluses on your hand. The first step to getting beautiful hands is to exfoliate the skin. To remove all of the dry skin to reveal the healthier skin underneath it. A good and inexpensive way to exfoliate your hands is to mix sugar, lemon juice and a cream together and rub it into your hands till the sugar dissolves. You can do this 2-3 times a week. You can also find hand scrubs at beauty stores.
2. Moisturize
Always moisturize your hands after washing them or if the appear to dry. Keeping your hands moisturized will keep them from appearing dry and will also keep them feeling soft to the touch. It would be a good idea to invest in a lotion that is made just for hands.
Curel Fast absorbing hand and cuticle cream $4-$9
This is the perfect hand lotion that helps both your hands and cuticle!
3. Washing
As you were told when you were younger washing your hands is essential to your healthy and cleanness of your hands. Although you should be careful to avoid soaps that are drying to the skin and take away your natural oils. Try to buy soaps that add moisture to your skin, the moisture your skin has the softer they will be!
4. Massage
Increase the circulation in your hands by giving them a quick massage every night. This will help them appear more healthy and have the right color tone.
5. Super Soft Hands
For really soft hands try applying a heavy cream or Vaseline to your hands and putting them in cotton gloves at night. This will help seal in the moisture which will give you amazingly soft hands.
6. When doing housework or doing the dishes wear gloves to protect your hands from harsh chemicals and over drying.
I hope these tips help you get beautiful hands!

Beauty Tips for Healthy Nails
Don't you just hate when you see people with the perfect looking nails or after you get a manicure your nails look fabulous and you wish that your nails would stay like that forever! Well here are some tips that I use to keep my nails looking healthy, natural, and beautiful!
First make sure your nails stay hydrated by applying a lotion with Vitamin E or use petroleum jelly at night and rub it into your nails. A great hand lotion that I use to keep my nails healthy is the Curel Fast Absorbing Hand and Cuticle lotion.
This lotion is about $5-$7 at drugstores and general stores. What I like about it is that it is good for your hands, nails and cuticles and leaves your hands feeling soft. It also is fast absorbing so you don't have to spend a lot of time rubbing it into your hands.
When pushing your cuticle back make sure that you do so at least a 45 degree angle doing any other way can cause severe damage to the cuticle which will damage your nails
When it comes to filing I know I always see people filing their nails back and forth instead of in one direction which is the right way. Never file back and forth but always in one direction.
Never file your nails after you have washed your hands or got out the shower. Water softens the nail making them easier to break or have uneven cuts.
Buy a Nail Buffer! Not only does this bring out the natural shine in your nails but it also creates stimulation that can cause your nails to grow faster and healthier.
Buffers such as this one can be brought at beauty stores and general stores $2-$4
When doing household chores wear rubber gloves to protect your nails from damage. Always dry your nails and never them wet this can create fungus.
