Slug Slime and Other Hand Softeners

Quick Tip

Your hands are probably on view a lot more often than you realize. Simply consider how often you are out amongst people. Unless your hand are in your pockets, people are looking at them. The following five tips will make your hands softer than you ever imagined.

*Pamper Your Palms

All you need is a little of your favorite scented moisturizer and a pair of hands that need a little TLC. Squirt a small amount onto the fleshy part of your hand and then lace fingers together. Now take your thumb and begin massaging your palm. When the moisturizer has disappeared, give the other hand a little attention and start massaging with other thumb. Feels great and relaxes you in seconds flat.

*Exfoliate Your Hands

You must be staring at this entry and asking yourself why? Before I say another word, add a little sugar to your liquid hand soap, and wash as usual and rinse. Have your hands ever felt this soft and silky?

*Wear Gloves

This is especially true of winter weather when the frigid winds can do nasty things to your hands, but it is equally important whenever your hands come into contact with water.

*Softer Hands in the Morning

This can easily be accomplished by applying hand lotion EVERY night before you go to bed. It will become a habit and rough, chapped hands will become a thing of the past. This is one of those good habits.

*Slug Slime

Slugs are good for your hands according to W.T. Fernie. He published his findings in 1905, stating that chafing of the skin can be relieved with the slime of a slug. So, what do you do? Put the slug on the sore area of your hand and let it crawl around. Once the section has been slimed, you can then let the slug go!
