Remember to put on rubber or latex gloves to keep the hot water and chemicals runs to your skin. Exfoliating removes dead layer of the skin leaving new smooth skin. You can do exfoliate your hands once a week. Steaming and uses baby oil are one of the exfoliating ways. Put in your hands before the water comes to boil. Use clean tissues to wrap your hands. The tip here is not boiled your hands.

By the way, you may apply lotion everyday before you start your day to moisturize it. Please note that after you washes you hands, lotion will drain off.
