    Coming back to the post, I really love all these soft hands tips. I personally love all the home remedies. I try to stay from all the chemicals.

    How come sugar help is getting the soft skin?
    Does it act as exfoliator?
    If yes then why?

    1. Keerthana Nair Reply

      Hi Rupesh. To answer your question, the texture of sugar itself makes it a great exfoliant. It can clear your pores gently ( especially when you use brown sugar, because the particles are tiny and smooth). It also keeps your skin hydrated and locks in moisture, as it is a natural humectant. A hydrated skin is always soft and smooth, hence sugar scrub is probably one of the best and cheapest trick to get soft hands.

    Hi Debshikha,

    I am applying Glycerin mixed with rose water and lime to face and hands every night before going to bed, thats because my hands are dark and also there is a hair growth on my face and hands and doctor told me not to go for regular waxing as i am allergic to waxing. Because of hair growth i cant wear a sleeveless dress. Please let me know if this reduces hair growth and if i can get a fair skin.

    Regards

    Ramya
