Whenever your hands get wet, use moisturizer. After showers, doing the dishes, playing in the rain, whenever. Heck, throw some on when you get bored. This can actually help with nail growth, too, as it keeps your entire hand hydrated and healthy.  But believe it or not, you may want to skip the lotion. The better option is hand ointments and buttery, thick creams with petrolatum or glycerin. Hand sanitizer actually dries hands out. So if you use it, be sure to negate the bad effects with extra moisturizer. If you're victim of the occasional "sandpaper hands," exfoliating is especially important. When you notice a buildup of dry, flaky skin, take it as your body's cue to exfoliate. Scrub your hands for two minutes or so with a tablespoon of sugar and a few drops of olive oil. Rinse it off and pat your hands dry.; don't rub. While they're still damp, slab on some more moisturizer for good measure. Do this once or twice a week and you'll see visible changes. Sugar and olive oil aren't the only things you probably already have lying around that can make your hands baby smooth. Here are a couple of ideas:  Sprinkle some baby powder on your hands and briefly rub lightly in. Then pour some bath salts into your hands, a few drops of hand wash, wash and rinse. Be sure to use warm water! Leave an application of coconut or palm oil on your hands for about 10 minutes. Wash away the oil with salt, not soap. Use some warm water if need be. Wash your hands in vinegar and cover with powdered sugar. Scrub your hands lightly for a minute or two and wash off with warm water. This will also remove dirt and enhance the fairness of your hands. Cocoa butter works great, too. You can even make some yourself! Take a spa night for yourself and moisturize the hours away. All you need to do is apply a thick coating of cream or hand ointment to your hands and slip on a thick pair of cotton socks over your hands -- and feet, if you'd like! Do this right before bed so you're not wondering, "How the heck am I supposed to type this email?!" When you wake up, you'll wake up to shockingly smooth hands. If you can't swing the entire night, do it while you're watching TV or otherwise relaxing and don't need your hands. Even an hour will make a noticeable difference. Unfortunately, some soaps aren't that great for your hands -- after all, killing bacteria is no easy job. To be as hygienic as possible, they can actually dry your skin out, exacerbating the problem. Make sure the soap that you keep in the bathroom and the kitchen isn't one of these products!
