Expert Answer

Always wear gloves when you're gardening or doing housework, particularly if it involves handling cleaning products or submerging your hands in water for a prolonged period of time.

Question

How do I make my hands not wrinkled?

Community Answer

It's perfectly natural to have wrinkles on your hands, but if you really want to make the wrinkles less apparent, try a yogurt mask, milk and flower mask, or a rice water mask.

Question

My nails are short and dirty, what to do?

Community Answer

Wash your hands, then moisturize them. Get a nail brush or tooth pick and scrape out the dirt. File your short nails until they are all even. Then if you want you can apply fake nails or you can try using a nail growth serum or a vitamin that is for hair skin and nails.

Question

How do I lessen the appearance of veins on skinnier hands?

Veins on hands can be attractive to lots of people, but there isn't really anything you can do unless you gained weight to lessen the appearance of veins.

Question

How can I make my hands less wrinkly?

Community Answer

I suggest applying lotion to your hands regularly throughout the day, which will keep the skin moisturized and hopefully decrease the amount of wrinkles.

Question

My cuticles are torn (not badly) and misshapen because I've been pushing them back or tampering with them. Is this a sign of dehydration in my hands? How do I fix this?

Community Answer

Give your nails a good soak first, and use loads of moisturizer to soften the cuticles. Continue with frequent moisturizing, and give your nails a couple of days of fresh air with no polish.

Question

Can I push my cuticles back if they are very overgrown and stuck to the nail?

Community Answer

I do, but I give my nails a good soak first and loads of moisturizer to soften the cuticles and then push them back gently. I continue with frequent moisturizing and, at the same time, gently keep pushing the cuticles back. I'm not sure if this is recommended, but I'm happy with the result and my nails look groomed. They also get a couple of days of fresh air with no polish.

Question

How do I get skinnier fingers?

Community Answer

You can't make fingers skinnier without losing weight everywhere, but you can make your fingers seem slimmer with a square or oval nail shape, and nail art with stripes vertically up the nail.
