To maintain soft skin, what should you regularly do?

Apply moisturizer daily
Use a special skin mask weekly
Keep your hands exfoliated
Use sunscreen every day

The correct answer is: Keep your hands exfoliated

The best practice for maintaining soft skin is to apply moisturizer daily. Regularly moisturizing the skin helps to lock in hydration, preventing dryness and maintaining the skin's natural barrier. Moisturizers contain ingredients that not only hydrate the skin but also ensure that the moisture is retained. Daily application promotes a consistent level of hydration, making the skin look and feel soft and supple. While using a special skin mask weekly can provide additional hydration or treatment benefits, it cannot replace the consistent, everyday care that a daily moisturizer offers. Keeping hands exfoliated is beneficial for sloughing away dead skin cells, which can improve texture but does not provide the hydration necessary for softness. Using sunscreen every day is crucial for protecting the skin from sun damage but does not contribute directly to maintaining its softness. Therefore, the regular application of a moisturizer stands out as the most effective strategy for achieving and maintaining soft skin.
