小贴士

how to do hand massage by yourself?

in order to stimte hand blood cirction, rub your palm over the back of the hand and then repeat with the other hand. this movement is quite simr to wash your hands and it does not only stimte blood cirction, it also warms the hands. besides, before you go to bed,vish vaseline on the hands and then put on a pair of cotton gloves. your hands will be incredibly soft and delicate by morning.

怎么自己做手部按摩?

用手掌来回互相摩擦另一只手的手背,这样可以促进血液循环。这个动作和洗手很相像,它不仅能促进血液循环,还能温暖你的双手。而且,在睡觉之前,在手上涂上厚厚的凡士林,然后戴上棉手套。早上起来,你就会发现双手变得非常柔软和娇嫩。
