Pampering Your Hands

Manicure at Home

1. Cut your nails and file them in desired shape.
2. Take your favourite lotion, oil or cream and massage your hands, as you sit back enjoying the soothing effect. Massage your nails and cuticles as well.
3. In a tub full of warm water, add in a squirt of shampoo/body wash, a few drops of oil, one teaspoon of salt, and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Soak your hands for ten minutes.
4. Scrub your hands with one tablespoon of granulated sugar mixed with one teaspoon of olive oil.
5. Submerge your hands in the tub for five more minutes, and then wipe them dry. Push back your cuticles.
6. Massage your hands with oil and wipe them.
7. Clean your nails with a nail polish remover to remove all traces of oil and then buff them.
