When it comes to summer, everyone’s focus and priority are the feet and making them soft and ready for summer sandals – but what about the hands? Here’s how to get and keep your hands soft all year!
Peeling
Just like you treat your face to a soft peeling once a week (you really should, if you are not already) you can ‘peel’ your hands to make them soft and gentle to look at and touch.
All you need is a little honey, a few drops of lemon and a table spoon of sea salt.
Mix those ingredients together and rub your hands for a few minutes. Your hands will feel like new instantly! Do this every now and then and especially during winter or summer, when the skin dries out.
Moisturize
Naturally, after a peel, you should moisturize with a rich hand cream. However, make it a habit to use hand cream every night before you go to sleep - you’ll wake up with the softest hands!
Always keep a little hand cream in your handbag and make sure to apply it once or twice a day after washing your hands. You’ll instantly see results!

thanks for this wonderful tips! <3
i use this, minus the honey, when i’m on a plane and need to freshen my face.
And if you have really really dry hands avoid lotions with fragrance. They tend to dry them out even more. As much as I love Victoria Secret’s/Bath and Body Works lotions, i have to put them aside and use Jergens, Curell or something like that. Sometimes i cheat, cause i mean who doesn’t love the yummy smelling hand creams!? ;)
Great tip, Grace…Thanks! Hadn’t thought of that one before…
I love the smell of pomegranate in hand lotions! Have you ever tried it?

No, but now that you mention it I will have to try it. :)
CAN YOU DO THIS WITH REGULAR SALT ? (:
You can try – The thing is, sea salt is chunky – that’s why it’s best to use. Try using brown sugar, if you have that in your kitchen. :)
pls i dont know sea salt .can i use kitchen salt?
Yes, just use salt that is not fine. You need it to act as peeling.
