Manicure
A manicure once a fortnight is very essential for an elegant look. Before every manicure; soak your hands in a little warm 
olive oil for about 5 minutes.
- Shape nails either oval, round or square using the smoother side of an emery board.
- If cuticles are neglected, they tend to stick to the nail. A healthy cuticle should be soft, supple and not stuck to the nail. Smooth some cuticle cream into the cuticles and push back the cuticles.
- Follow this by removing all the dead cuticle with an orange stick wrapped in cotton and dipped in cuticle remover.
- Snip off hang nails if any with a cuticle cutter but do not cut the cuticle as it would only make the cuticle rougher and harder.
- Massage hands with a good hand-cream.
- Remove all residue from the nails by washing and drying the finger tips.
You can make your individual hand lotion from the following:
1/2 cup rose water
1/4 cup after-shave
1/4 cup glycerine
1/4 tablespoon white vinegar
- Mix all together and bottle for use.
