Let’s “Self” Pamper Ourselves During Our Coronavirus Vacation!
Remember my earlier article about having a lot of time on our hands during our Coronavirus Blues vacation? Well, I had a thought… Wait for it! Here it comes.
Why not do some self-pampering, since we cannot go to the nail salon, why not pamper our hands and nails at home?
Our hands are in and out of water constantly with our need to now wash our hands after just about everything we do. As we are all coming to learn hand sanitizers have a lot of alcohol and can make hands dry and chapped. Even if you buy the hand sanitizer with moisturizer, your hands may still become dry and chapped.
Leading doctors say if you have really dry hands you should wear gloves when doing dishes or cleaning.
Let’s suppose we’ve done all of that what next?
Well, my grandmother and mother would say I should put Vaseline on my hands, and cover them with gloves, when I go to bed or have some free time in the day. And guess what their remedy works.
In her autobiography “Doris Day: Her Own Story,” Doris Day said that once a month she would cover her body with Vaseline before she went to bed to soften her skin. She would wear gloves, sock and pajamas that would make sure the Vaseline stayed on her skin and didn't get all over her bed.
So what’s my self-pampering tip for hands (and feet for those of us who need it.) is to put some Vaseline on your hands, giving extra care and attention to your cuticles and then cover your hands with gloves. Before you know it
Your hands will be back to being soft.
