Feet and Hands Scrub
Keeping your feet clean and pretty takes a longtime. It is very ugly to see the cracks and dead skin on your feet.
Mix coconut oil, lime juice in equal parts and apply on your feet. Massage it well into the skin and leave it for five minutes.
Then add sugar to the remaining mix and scrub your feet thoroughly paying attention to the dirt prone areas, like, between toes and cracks on the soles of feet
Wash it off after scrubbing and apply hand lotion.
If you can do that regularly (at least once a week), you'll have beautiful feet which you can show off.
For hands also you can use the same method. When you do your household work at home, no one likes to wear gloves which are irritating. I myself don't do it.
Instead what we can do is to apply oil, which is always in the kitchen, as soon as you finish washing and cleaning.
Apply a little oil onto your hands , massage it well. Since your hands are damp, the oil penetrates quickly and gets absorbed nicely.
Once a week do the above mentioned scrub and remove the dead skin and calluses which might form.
Your hands will also look pretty.
For your nails:
Apply a little coconut / olive oil, massage it well into the nails and clean the cuticles regularly.
You can do this whenever you do oil massage to your hands. Your nails will look transparent and with a healthy pink colour.

Split Ends
Split ends are the result of negligence. When you neglect caring for your hair, it'll end up getting dry and brittle.
Lack of oil massaging and brushing will do this to your hair.
Split ends will not just stop with the ends of hair, it climbs up the shaft spoiling the hair follicle itself.
The only way to prevent this from happening is caring for the hair properly.
You have to do oil massaging, combing the hair after massage with the wide toothed comb, till the oil reaches the ends of hair.
Tie the hair up in a bun and one hour later shampoo your hair.
Do not comb wet hair. That's another reason for split hair.
The only treatment available for split ends is trimming . You cannot avoid trimming your hair at all. Just trim your hair once in three months till the splits vanish completely.

Face and Neck - Care
The seasonal fruits can be used to brighten the face and the neck skin area. Do not throw away the peels of fruits and vegetables. They can be applied as when you like as scrubs and masks.
Whatever pack you apply for the face should also be applied in the neck.
Orange peels:
Dry the skin of oranges. Powder and store in a airtight container. You can use it for exfoliation whenever you like.
Just mix the powder with equal parts of honey and milk. Apply to your face and the neck area , leave it for 15-20 minutes or till it dries. Wash off with plain water.
Apple peels:
Apple peels can be boiled with a few tulsi leaves and stored for a few days. This liquid can be used as a cleanser.
Carrots:
Carrots are the best natural toners one can have. While you cook carrots, remove some and keep aside. Grind them to a paste.Mix it with a little honey and apply on the face.Leave it for a few minutes. Wash it off later. This will remove if there are any minor blemishes on your skin.
whatever you pack you use be careful when you apply near the eyes. The skin is very thin and can be easily harmed. Always apply pack around the eyes and not under the eyes.

For the Tired Hands
Whenever you wash your hands after doing household chores at home, get in to the habit of applying a little oil, while your skin is still damp. It would be absorbed quickly and you'll always have a smooth and wrinkle free skin.
Remember to moisturise your cuticles and massage with upward motions. Rub the elbows also with a little oil at the same time.
Any oil you have in the kitchen can be used for this. Actually I have seen that sesame oil/gingelly oil works the best. If you can use a little salt with the oil as a scrub, it'll ensure that you have the softest skin.

When it boils, simmer and gently keep stirring till the mix gets thicker and of a golden brown colour. Remove and let cool. Mix in 1 tablespoonful of glycerine to the mix. Syore in a closed container and refrigerate.
In summer the wax tends to get thinner if you keep it outside. So if you like hot wax just heat it slightly or keep the wax in the freezer for sometime and then use.
Daily before going to bath give a little oil massage to your feet. Then take your usual bath. Your feet will look fresh and clean.
Clean your toe nails regularly. Paint them with a nail polish and also see that the nail polish doesn't get chipped. Keep them looking pretty.
