Show Your Hands That You Care
Your hands - they cook dinners, mop floors, tap keyboards, hang out clothes, flick through magazines. What don’t they do? On top of all that, they are constantly exposed to our changeable weather and the extremes of going from outdoors to indoors. Our hands tend to become dry, and the skin suffers. That’s because they have fewer oil glands than any other part of our body, so they need that bit of extra care - to stay soft. They’re not asking for diamonds or flowers, just a little moisture and protection. So let’s be good to them. They sure do deserve a little bit of love and attention. And here’s the perfect way to show them that love. Soak them in warm water for 5 minutes. I like to add a little drop of our Grapefruit and May Chang Shower Gel to the water. (It’s all about the little luxuries.) Then pat them dry with a warm fluffy towel. Rub a generous amount of Hand Cream into your hands. For a zingy zesty boost I use Grapefruit and May Chang. Then pop on a pair of cotton gloves for 10 to 15 minutes. Once the time is up, remove the gloves and feel the difference. Perfect when your hands need that extra love boost. [A little extra tip I learned from Miranda in SATC - always apply hand cream to your elbows . They tend to get left out. And no one wants that.] Now go grab those cotton gloves and show those hands some love. Words by Theresa@THMSco Pic by Paul Kelly @Studio3photography
