8 tips for younger hands and feet

- Fungal infections are rampant in the scorching summer, so always make sure your feet are clean. Dry them with a medicated powder in the morning.

- Dab sunscreen on your hands and feet before stepping out. Look for a sunblock customised for the body instead of the more expensive facial sunscreen.

- For softer heels, mix glycerine with rose water. To soothe cracked heels, fill a tub with lukewarm water. Add some salt and petroleum jelly to it. Dip your feet for 30 minutes and clean with a pumice stone.

- Apply heel and foot cream before hitting the bed at night. This routine will keep your peds moisturised.

- Make a scrub for your hands and feet by mixing two tablespoons of baby oil or olive oil with sugar. Rub this paste gently on your skin for a few minutes and then rinse with water.

- Shiny nails aren't only the stuff of spas. Rub petroleum jelly and castor oil on your nails and then buff them with a cotton ball and your nails will be dazzling.

- Don't forget to massage them often to prevent them from breaking. Pick up a bottle of cuticle oil and apply around your nails at least once a week to moisturise the area around the nail.

- Regular hand and foot massages will not only keep them youthful, but will also increase blood flow and prevent wrinkles.
