Moisturizing Hand Treatment
1) Start by removing polish from fingernails. For natural nails, use a non-acetone remover.
2) File nails to desired shape. Always file in one direction starting at the edges and moving toward the top.
3) Soak in soapy water for a few minutes to soften cuticles.
4) Dot a moisturizing cuticle cream on the cuticles and rub in.
5) Use an orange wood stick to push back cuticles. Do not cut cuticles, as this can cause infection and damage the nail.
6) Massage hands with a moisturizing hand lotion.
7) Massage Technique: make small, firm circular motions with your thumb, concentrating on the muscles on inside of hand, near the thumb and little finger, and the base of each finger. Turn hand over, and use your index finger to make small circles down the gaps between tendons.
8) Wipe nails with a damp cloth to remove excess oils.
9) Finish by applying your favorite nail polish.
