How to Get Soft Hands with Three Easy Homemade Remedies

Home Cures for Rough Hands

The skin on our hands take brunt of every chore—from taking care of the kids to washing dishes to weeding the garden. To make things worse, these tasks mean that you have to wash your hands frequently. All of this daily wear inevitably leads to your hands looking as though they belong to someone older than you really are.

The soaps and other cleaning products we use today can cause your hands to look discoloured, wrinkly, and rough. Luckily, there’s no need to worry. Use these three extremely easy home remedies to get back the soft hands you once had!

1. One-Minute-to-Soft-Palms Scrub

Is it possible to soften your hands in less than a minute? Oh, yes it is! After a long day of work, why not give your hands instant pampering and refreshment. This wonderfully simple scrub will leave your hands feeling 10 times smoother in just a minute.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions:

1. Simply put the sugar in the palm of one hand and slowly pour the olive oil into it. Using your other palm start rubbing the scrub into your palms and hands.
2. Massage your fingers and hands with gentle squeezing and circular motions for about 30 seconds.
3. Then relax your palms and let the scrub sink in for another 30 seconds.
4. Now you’re done! Simply wash out your hands with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel. So smooth, you can’t stop touching your hands, can you?

2. Overnight Treatment: Vaseline and Socks

Want to give your hands some extra special love? Why not try an overnight intense softening treatment using only two items:

1. Vaseline
2. A pair of socks

Vaseline is known for its ability to lock in moisture and soften even the most callous palms. Many women mention Vaseline as their number one beauty secret.

After finishing all your activities for the day, wrap up by washing your hands with a gentle soap and drying them off. Then get a dollop of Vaseline and rub it into your hands. Go ahead and take an extra 30 seconds to massage your hands gently. Then simply slip the socks over your hands and go to bed. Wake up the next day to supple, soft hands.
