1. File
Using an emery board, file nails straight up at the sides. Don’t file sides of nails inward. The thinner your nail, the finer the emery board should be.

2. Cuticles
Apply cuticle softener to the edges of the nail. Massage gently with fingertips. If cuticles are very brittle, warm the softener in the microwave for a few seconds before applying.

3. Soak
Soak fingers in warm, soapy water. If fingers are discolored or dirty, take a tablet of denture cleanser and dissolve it in the water, or add a lime bleach.

4.Trim
Using a cuticle pusher/cutter (available at drugstores), push the cuticle back, and cut any excess hangnails. Don’t cut in to your cuticle, because it will cause it to bleed.

5. Massage
Apply a moisturizer all over the hands, rubbing into the nails and cuticles. Distress by massaging the inside palm with your thumb.

6.Wipe
Dip a cotton ball in an astringent (like witch hazel or lemon juice), and remove any excess oil.This is necessary to allow polish to go on smoothly without bubbling.

7. Base Coat
Apply a base coat or primer, and allow to dry.

8. Final Coat
Brush on a one-coat polish. Look for the kind that contains both a color and top coat. It’s just as good and a great time-saver.

Older people have to deal with the normal aging process of the skin. In aged women and men, the skin dries and thins because the sebaceous glands slow down and even gathers pace. The elastin fibers lose their structure, the dermis becomes less resilient, and the skin becomes wrinkled and sags. It is never too late to take care of the skin, no matter of what age group you belong to.

Skin is the exposed part of the body and it is very sensitive also. Winter season is tough for the skin. The cold temperatures, snow and dry wind make the skin dry. The skin becomes rough, cracked and irritated. This can lead to conditions like eczema. Therefore extra skin care is needed in winter.

There are several skin care steps which should be followed in winter. Clothing in winter is also important for skin care. Warm, layered and long sleeved cloths are helpful in caring for skin in winter. Gloves can be worn to protect hands from cold and dry weather. The material of the gloves should not be irritating to the skin. To keep the hands warm and dry woolen gloves can be worn on cotton gloves. Wet cloths and shoes should be removed immediately.

Bath or shower should not be frequent or for longer period of time. It does not moisturize the skin but makes it dry. A mild cleanser can be used instead of soap. Oils can be added to bath. A massage with baby oil before bath is also good to prevent drying of skin. Oils can penetrate the skin and nourish it. Cleanser can be chosen containing moisturizer or ingredients like Aloe Vera. Exfoliation of the skin daily helps in stimulating it. Skin can be exfoliated using washcloth or scrub brush. Lips can be rubbed with woven mesh after application of jojoba oil on it.

Moisturizers should be applied immediately after bath and frequently throughout the day. The moisturizers should be applied on feet, knees, elbows, hands and all over the body. The moisturizers to be used in winter should be oil based. Moisturizers in ointment form are better than creams and lotions as they contain 80%oil and 20% water and they form a protective layer on the skin and lock the moisture inside the skin. Along with moisturizer sunscreen also should be applied. Sometimes moisturizers contain sunscreens also. Sunscreen should contain SPF of 30 or higher. Toner if used should be alcohol free.

The dry atmosphere in winter makes the skin, throat and the entire body dry. Heaters inside the rooms make the atmosphere all the more dry. Therefore, humidifiers can be used to humidify the rooms.

Drinking plenty of water is also important to maintain the moisture in the body. Intake of warm food and warm tea is good. Regular physical exercise is also important to improve blood circulation. In case of extreme dry skin a dermatologist’s advice is better.
