Nail brightening treatment: Salt strengthens the nails and softens the cuticles. In half cup of warm water, add one teaspoon salt, one teaspoon baking soda and one teaspoon lemon juice. Soak your hands in the solution for 10 minutes and then rinse your hands.
I face a lot of issues with dryness around my hand area as I have a habit of washing hand many times a day that makes my skin lose its natural oils. While I do have tried hand moisturising creams and butter available in the market, there is nothing that can beat natural ingredients. Chemical-free natural ingredients work like a charm when it comes to softening and getting rid of dry skin. The top of my hand, especially, get dry real soon and the effects of moisturisers only last for a few minutes. This hand pack I tried a month ago at home not only gave me softer hands but also removed the darkness of skin and flakiness around my hand. Here's how you can make it.
Ingredients:
Method:
Pour the malai or milk cream in a bowl and add glycerin and sandalwood powder to it. Mix it well and if it gets dry because of sandalwood powder add a few drops of rose water in it. Once it is mixed well add honey and mix it until it forms a smooth paste.
Before applying, wash your hands and dry well. Apply it for 15 minutes or till it is semi-dry. Rinse well. Make sure that you don't let the pack dry for way too long. Apply it twice a week and see the difference for yourself. Malai and honey are known to be natural moisturisers and hydrate dry chapped skin. Turmeric powder is used as a chemical-free ingredient to achieve a natural glow. You must try this perfect balance of natural ingredients that can surely be your best friend this winter. Winters can affect your skin adversely and it requires extra care, you might also want to know what happened when I used baby soap instead of regular body soap for 20 days during winters.
