Easy solutions to your beauty problems
We take 3 of the most common skin complaints and give you their simple solutions:
Cracked heels: Apart from regular pedicure, it is important to moisturise your feet regularly. Follow this foot-softening routine once a week: Apply a rich moisturizer to your feet, and then soak them in really warm water with a few drops of nourishing oil (such as jojoba). Let them soak for 15-20 minutes, then while still damp slough off dead skin with a pumice.
Brittle nails: Washing hands more often in hot water can take toll on your nails. Once a week, rub cuticle oil into and around nails to keep them hydrated. Also get into the habit of rubbing moisturiser into your cuticles and nails after you wash your hands. Keep a tube of moisturiser next to the kitchen or bathroom sink as a reminder.
Dry skin: It's tempting to stand under a long, hot shower when it's cold outside, but resist the urge. Turn down the heat or shorten your shower time and moisturise straight after the shower while your skin is still damp, using a cream that creates a barrier to stop moisture from evaporating. Also apply a cream-based facial mask once a week as a moisture booster.
