Amidst all the bridal chores, regimens and salon sessions, the one aspect that all the would-be-brides miss is taking care of their feet and hands. Regardless, of how small this aspect is, it requires trivial attention. No matter how good you look, the dryness of your hand and cracked feet can steal away the elegance form your gait. One of the major problems associated with hand and feet is dryness and roughness because these are the most overexposed parts of our body We are here with some general tips and tricks to take care of hand and feet, for your big day.

KEEPING YOUR HANDS AND FEET HYDRATED IS A MUST:

This is the first step to any skincare process. Keeping skin hydrated is the key to keep dryness away from your limbs. Apply a lightweight moisturizer on your hand regularly. Use of coconut milk and mint based moisturizer on your limbs will help you reduce tanning, cool rashes and will give you a soothing effect. If you are facing cracked feet problems, applying a good amount of mustard oil on your feet at night and wearing socks over it, will work wonders for you!

 EXFOLIATION AND DE-TANNING:

Many times, we do use exfoliators and de-tanners for our face but we forget our limbs, this is the reason why our hands and feet remain darker in comparison to our face. Use of natural exfoliators is a must. Mix 3 tablespoon of sugar with 1 squeezed lemon, and apply it all over your hands and limbs. People allergic to citrus acid, can mix gram flour with turmeric, curd and honey, wash it off when it is completely dried. This will exfoliate your skin and make it tan free. Don’t forget your elbows and knees as they are the most avoided part, hence they remain dark.

TAKE NAIL AND FOOT BATH:

Taking out time for a parlour session during the wedding shenanigans is a bit difficult. So, you can arrange for it at home, with a few simple steps. Fill up a bucket of hot water. Add a few drops of lemon and your favourite shampoo to it. Put your feet inside it for about 20 minutes, and scrub it with a feet scrubber to get rid of all the dead skin and tan lines. Apply a generous amount of moisturizer and you are good to go! Use the same procedure for your hands.

GROW NAIL NATURALLY:

All brides want flawless nails when her better half puts a ring on her finger. To get the perfect sized natural nail, you must massage your cuticles for about 5-7 minutes twice in a day.
