Here are some few tips to keep hands clean and safe

■ Always use gloves for washing clothes and utensils. Soak hands in a bowl of warm water to which 1 tsp of cornstarch has been added for 5 minutes daily after finishing the household chores.

■ Massage hands once a week with olive oil and a little table salt added to it.

■ Remove ingrained dirt from hands with a 10-minute massage of sugar and butter.



■ Glycerin, rose water and lemon juice rubbed on the hands every night during winter months keep them soft and prevent ugly cracks forming.

■ To remove stains from hands rub with a slice of lemon or a raw potato. For nicotine stains, apply lemon juice and leave for 10 minutes before washing.

■ To keep hands clean and soft, soak 250 g oatmeal in 11-12 cups water and leave overnight. Strain it through a thin muslin cloth the next morning and add 1 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp each of olive oil, rose water, glycerin and diluted ammonia. Store in bottle and apply on hands 3-4 times daily.





■ Keep knees smooth by rubbing them occasionally with fresh limejuice or massage with a nourishing cream.

■ Soften your hands even while you do the dishes. Add a little almond oil (about a teaspoon) to dishwater. The water will soften rough skin while the oil seals the moisture.

■ Take 1/2-cup warm milk, 2 tsp sugar, 2 tsp plain yogurt and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Soak your hands/fingers in this mixture for about 5 minutes Then do a scrub, nail/cuticle care, massage and polish.

■ For rough palms, use a mixture of glycerin and limejuice in equal proportion.
