POLOKWANE – More often than not, men’s hands are rough and hard which is why it is so important for them to regularly use moisturiser to protect their skin from cracking.

She shared some home remedy tips for men on how to keep the face, hands and feet looking and feeling smooth.
“Some men don’t like ‘pampering’ themselves as they usually think it’s only appropriate for women, which is not the case at all. For those who like to give themselves a bit of time to spoil themselves, however, here are some home remedies you can try for smoother and healthier skin,” she said.
• Wash your face with cold water day and night (not lukewarm or warm).
Try to avoid hot water for your face as it will strip away healthy, natural oils from your skin too quickly.
• Remember to always keep your hands, feet and face moisturised at all times, especially if you have very dry skin. It is also necessary to apply moisturiser after shaving so you do not develop a face rash or get scaly skin around the cheek or chin area.
• Using a face toner after washing your face is always a good choice because that cleanses all the bacteria and dirt from your face.
• Scrub your feet with a pumice stone before showering or bathing to remove dead skin cells.
• If you like showering with hot water, make sure you don’t stay in the shower for too long as it can damage your skin without you noticing it as it will also strip away healthy, natural oils.
• When using deodorant, make sure you don’t apply it on your skin. Rather apply it on your clothes as it can dry out or irritate the skin.
If you have a sensitive skin and cannot use roll-on, consult your nearest dermatologist for alternative means to keep smelling fresh throughout the day.
