We are busy taking care of our skin on a regular basis but what we always miss out is the care of our hands.

The sun plays an important role for the aging of the skin and contributes a lot in damaging the skin of the hands. It is equally likely to form wrinkles and fine lines like on your face.

5. Tepid Water Wash

Dip the hands in tepid water for 10-15 minutes every alternative day to clean them thoroughly. You can also add a drop or two of a mild shampoo in the water to clean off the dirt and grime from the whole day ordeal.
6. Choice Of Nail Color

Always keep the undertone of your skin in mind while choosing the nail color. Avoid frosty nail colors when the skin doesn't look great. If you're confused about the mail color, go for the obvious French manicure.
7. Shaping The Nails
