Do you pay attention to someone's hands when you see them? It is important to remember that they will likely notice yours as well. It is often said that one can tell about a person's cleanliness by examining their hands, which is true to some extent. Hand hygiene serves as a significant indicator of personal hygiene. Similar to an attractive face, well-groomed hands contribute positively to an individual's overall persona. However, hands are frequently engaged in a multitude of tasks, making it challenging for many to dedicate time to their care and enhancement. Nevertheless, it is possible to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of our hands by following a few simple tips.

Wash your hands carefully
Maintaining clean hands is essential for their beauty. It is important to wash your hands thoroughly using soap or a suitable hand wash. Before washing, it is advisable to remove rings and other jewellery. Ensure that there is no dirt or debris trapped beneath your nails or between your fingers. Keeping your hands dry is crucial, as wet skin is more vulnerable to infections and damage. If your hands are always wet, they will lose their natural moisture. Additionally, washing your hands with excessively hot or cold water may strip away their natural oils. Therefore, it is best to use water at a normal temperature.

Apply cream to make your hands soft
After washing your hands and drying them with a towel or tissue, it is advisable to apply a quality hand cream, cold cream, or moisturizer. For individuals who spend time outdoors, apply sunscreen as well. It is best to apply sunscreen at least half an hour before going outside. Regularly massaging the skin after the application of creams will enhance its softness. It is better if you massage it before going to bed at night. Additionally, ensure that you select high-quality creams for application and massage on the skin.

Gloves are good but don't overdo it
Wearing gloves while performing kitchen tasks is advisable, as it helps prevent the accumulation of dirt and grime. However, prolonged use of gloves may lead to excessive sweating of the hands. Therefore, it is recommended to choose gloves that have a cotton lining. In situations where water is not involved, gloves are not essential, and it is beneficial to allow the skin pores on your hands to remain open.
