Why only cheeks, even hands can be cuddly

Our hands wriggle when we see a soft and chubby face. It becomes difficult to resist the temptation to cuddle the soft and supple cheeks of young children or babies. However, when we do that, do we also check the condition of your hands? The cheeks at the receiving end might feel the roughness of your undernourished hands.

How would you take care of it? Simple! Here we present seven easy steps towards a soft hand.

Things to keep handy:

Small bowl of lukewarm water
Two tablespoons of sugar
A soft washcloth
Moisturizing soap
Clean towel
Lotion, preferably containing macadamia oil and
Rose water

Step 1: Use running tap water or simply cold water to wash your hands. Use a moisturizing soap while you wash. Once you are done with washing, use the bowl with warm water to soak your hands. Keep it soaked for about five minutes or more in case of very rough hands.

Step 2: Once soaking is completed, take the entire amount of sugar you had kept aside and few drops of lukewarm water.

Step 3: Rub the hands just as you are applying a moisturizer. Keep scrubbing for sometime.

Step 4: Use the washcloth while putting some moisturizing soap over it. Now rub your hands with this in a circular motion. Do it both on the front and back of your hands. Wash it off with warm water.

Step 5: Now use the towel to dab dry your hands without completely removing the moisture.

Step 6: Apply the lotion on your hands now. The macadamia oil is absorbed fast by the skin. It helps you to keep your hands moisturized and fresh without a greasy feeling.

Step 7: Apply some rosewater that you had kept for the treatment. Apply the ingredients on your hands as a finishing touch. It also provides your hands with a fresh fragrance.

So along with a soft hand, you make it enchanting too.
