Aparna presents Home remedies for hardened palms posted at Beauty and Personality Grooming, saying, “Have you been neglecting your hands lately? You are not alone; most Indian women do – all that household work of cleaning, swabbing and doing the dishes takes a toll on their hands. Their hands take more abuse than just about any other external part of their body; they lose that youthfulness and look rugged and aged beyond years. Their palms especially are more vulnerable and become rough and hard over a period of time. The skin on the hands, as we know, is protected with a coating of oil/sebum. This is what keeps it moist and prevents dry skin. Constant immersing of hands in water, repeated washing with soaps and contact with harmful chemicals in detergents and floor-cleaning liquids (there is very little awareness in third-world countries) make the hands dry and cracked and often causes eczema (also known as housewife’s eczema) and some people are more prone to develop hand eczema than others are. And if this repeated exposure continues, hands also become red and inflamed.”

Today was supposed to be the day where I publish the IC Disease monthly health blog carnival, but due to the Blog Carnival website being temporarily unavailable, I have been unable to access the website in order to locate all of the contributed posts.

I always receive an email whenever someone submits a post but I also can go into the blog carnival itself and pull up all of the contributed posts so I have been deleting the email confirmations.  I won’t make that mistake again!  If I would have kept all of the contributed post confirmations I could go ahead and publish the carnival and wouldn’t have to worry about waiting for the website to become available again. 

I hope that the website is back up by tomorrow.  Last night it wasn’t working either and I’ve never known that site to be down for this long.  As soon as I can access the site I will publish the #5 edition of the carnival.  Sorry for any inconvenience.
