Rough hand is a common problem in women. Below are few easy home remedies for rough hands:
- Add cornstarch in a bowl of warm water and mix it well. Soak your rough or scaly hand in this water for 5 minutes. Regular treatment like this will soften your hands.
- Apply petroleum jelly in your nails before doing messy jobs. This will prevent dirt from getting lodged.
- Rub your hands with sugar and lime juice. The sugar granules will exfoliate and the limejuice will lighten the skin. It will also soften the skin.
- Rub your hands with a mixture of sugar and olive oil for 1 minute. Wash it off.

Hey, not all women dislike a man’s having rough hands. Simply filing off any obvious snags, cleaning dirt from under the nails, and making sure they are clean is sufficient so far as I’m concerned.
I’m married to a carpenter/mechanic, and his hands are one of the things I find attractive about him. You can tell by looking at his hands that he uses them working for a living.
One of my biggest turnoffs for me is a man with soft, manicured hands.
