HAND IT OFF!
Did you know.
. .that many ancient beauty treatments are still in use today?
An example is the East Indian art of painting the hands and
feet with Henna. It is known in India as Mendhi and is an
ancient Indian art form which has been performed for generations
not only in India, but the Middle East, Pakistan and in Africa
as well. Women in India traditionally painted henna on their
hands and feet, insides of their arms and up their shins
most often for a wedding, or other special occasion. The
intricate patterns on the hands are particularly beautiful.
Nothing will give
away your age quicker than the condition of your hands. Let’s
take a look at some tips to try and hold off the ravages
of time.
44.
While we don’t
particularly recommend the practice of mendhi for everyday
USA, it would be helpful in covering up some of those age
spots, wouldn’t it? Try this tip. Apply vitamin E oil directly
to the spots to fade the discoloration.
45.
There is also
a product that’s been around since Grandma was a youngster.
It’s called porcelana and women have credited it for removing
age spots for decades.
46.
If you spend hours
at a time on the computer, be sure you use a rest for your
wrists. It will help ward off carpal tunnel syndrome.
47.
Your nails. Press
on? Glue on? Paint on? Take your pick, there are nothing
but choices out there. If you have your acrylic nails done
in a nail salon, understand that you do so at your own risk!
It seems as though there is a nail salon on every corner
in every city in the USA. If the salon you are using does
not replace or sanitize their instruments (files, nippers,
brushes, etc.) in between customers, run, don’t walk for
the door. When trying out a new salon, arrive early for your
appointment. If you are using a “walk in” shop, make certain
you let someone go before you. Sit or stand where you can
“catch the action.” Pay close attention to how the nail tech
prepares for the new client. Watch carefully to make certain
that he/she is skilled in the trade and does not accidentally
break the skin especially if they haven’t sanitized their
instruments. You’ve got a lot at stake here. With the prevalence
of aids, hepatitis and other diseases you can’t be too careful.
If you see something that just doesn’t set well, get up and
leave. Try a more “upscale” shop next time.
48.
Do not file the
corner of your fingernails. It weakens, causing them to break
and crack.
49.
If your fingernails
are brittle, it may be the soap you are using or a hand cream
that is perfumed. Most perfumed hand creams contain alcohol
which will dry the nails causing them to become brittle.
50.
Are your nails
cracked, brittle and breaking? Try drinking more water. .
.yep. . .back to the water. At least 8 glasses a day. . .and
that’s 8 ounce glasses.
51.
Combat dry and
brittle nails by increasing your vitamin A and calcium.
52.
Have a problem
hang nails? Try adding more protein to your diet. Through
in some folic acid and vitamin C as well.
53.
If you have white
bands across your fingernails, you need more protein.
54.
Splitting nails
can be reversed. Add some hydrochloric acid to your diet.
55.
Add more vitamin
B12 to your daily vitamin regimen to help fight dryness.
56.
Got white spots
on your nails? Try taking zinc.
57.
You need more
liquids if you have cracks or cuts in the fingernails.
58.
Do your hands
feel like sandpaper? Soften them up with a coating of Vaseline
then slip them into inexpensive cotton gloves. Do this just
before bed and by the time you wake up in the morning, your
hands will be silky smooth.
59.
Yes, they are
awkward, but wear rubber gloves while cleaning. Chemicals
in the cleaning products are doing a number on your hands.
