The most ignored skin care routine is the one we have for our hands! We hardly do anything to care for our hands even though they face the harshest treatment of all things.

The constant use of sanitser and handwash can leave our hands feeling dry and rough. We also end up with loads of impurities and dry skin that we fail to remove from our hands. This is why it is essential to have a set routine for healthy skin and keep our hands feeling soft and moisturised. The best way to do it is to use some DIY hand masks for soft hands.
