Taking care of your hands and feet are as important as caring for your skin. If your skin glows but your hands and feet are unkempt and dirty then you will be not be a beauty. Caring for the hands and feet takes just 5 minutes so you can easily take some time out of your busy schedule. You can do manicure to your hands and pedicure to your feet to make them glow and look beautiful.

Manicure and pedicure steps

If you want to do manicure you should take a bowl of warm soapy water and accessories like nail filer, cotton wool, towel, and coconut oil for moisturizing, nail polish remover and nail polish. Right amount of care for your hands will not lead to pre-mature aging and wrinkling of your skin.

Following are the steps to care for your hands:

• Protect your hands by wearing gloves while gardening, washing dishes, roaming out or dealing with chemicals.
• Soak your hands and feet in soapy water, press back the cuticles gently with your towels and moisturize them to look delicate. To remove the soap deposits wipe the nails of both hands and feet again and remove the polish with nail polish remover.
• Apply a base coat of polish that will act like strengtheners for your nails.
• After the polish dries apply a coating of proper nail polish to make your nails look good.
• Finally apply coconut/almond oil/olive oil in your hands up to your wrist to make them look smooth and soft.
• Apply super-moisturizing cream/lotions to your feet and calves to make them look beautiful.
