Hand care is important for everyone whether you are male or female. The biggest concern goes to manual workers as well housewives.
The reason why i pointed out manual workers and housewives is due to the fact that. They are always exposed to all sorts of materials that could easily cause their hand to wear and tear.
Don’t get me started on the fact that they are frequently wet and exposed to harsh chemicals. And to the risk of minor injuries and subsequent infection.
How to perform a home manicure?
Before we go in depth, we need to know that:
”Nails are to be kept clean at all times by brushing them with a nail brush.”
Home manicures are adviced, Atleast once a week. Obviously in order to have a manicure we need its tools. Manicure tools are not hard to find. They can easily be found in your nearest cosmetic store.
Manicure kit:
Cotton wool, Emery boards, a hoof stick shaped at one end for cleaning and with a rubber tip at the other end for easing back cuticles. Nail or cuticle cream, a nail buffer, and an oily nail-varnish remover.
- Remove the nail polish using the nail-varnish remover.
2. Wash the hands in warm soapy water. DO NOT SOAK THE HANDS ( It will cause the nails to soften).
3. Massage the the nails or you could apply the cuticle cream all over the nails, and wait for 4-5 minutes.
4. Gently ease the cuticle from the bottom of the nail way till the top, using the hoof stick.
5. Using the sharp end of the hoof stick wrapped in cotton wool, clean the nail thoroughly. Then wash the hands to ensure that there is no excess cream left.
6. Using a one way movement buff the nails, this will ensure that the nails remain smooth.
7. Using an emery board to shape the nails, using an upward movement i.e from the cuticles to the fingertips. Do not cut the entire nail on the corner of each nail. Reason being is to maintain strength.
8. Run the nails on a smooth fabric to see if all the snags have disappeared. If it so happens that the cuticles are rough or snagged. Then smooth them out gently by using the emery board.
9. Massage the hands with hand cream, ( i would say for about 5 minutes ).
”HAND CREAM SHOULD BE USED EVERYDAY TO MASSAGE THE HANDS AT LEAST TWICE EVERY DAY.”
