The Guide to Hand Care for Men

If you think hand care and manicure is only for women, then you are wrong. Men too need to have, their hands properly cared for just as much as the ladies. Proper nail and hand care are essential to achieving a polished look. Whether people say it or not, they notice your hands, especially women, so it is important to make sure that your hands are always presentable. A visit to Flower Mound nail salon could not only alert you to underlying health issues but also prompt you to put an end to annoying habit. Here is your guide to hand care.

•    Quit Using Just Any Soap

The liquid soap dispensers on the walls of public restrooms have alcohol based soap that tears your skin apart. The more you use it the drier your hands get. That’s not a pass to skip the sanitizing, but for road trips, pack your own pocket-sized moisturizing cleaner, it not only removes the grime but also conditions skin.

•    Make Friends with Vaseline

Vaseline is your best friend when it comes to soothing cracked knuckles. Cracked skin is like an open wound and if not treated can lead to infections. The easiest and faster way to heal is to cover it with Vaseline. This will prevent skin from hardening and then re-cracking every time you bend your fingers. Keep small tubes of Vaseline in your bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and office for easy re-application throughout the day.

•    Use Sunscreen on Your Hands

Your hands are the place that gets the most exposure all year round and while it can take up to 15 years for sun damage to appear, eventually your hand will be covered in brown spots and freckles. So apply sunscreen with SPF 30 generously on your face and hands after you groom yourself in the morning, while your skin is slightly damp for best absorption.

•    Get a Manicure

If after all of this, you are still having trouble taking care, call in the professionals for help. The manicure has become a grooming treatment for many men. There is no point in wearing an executive suit if your hands are not clean. Flower Mound nail salon will trim your cuticles, clip your nails and buff them which adds a healthy shine.
