Smooth hands
May 11, 2009
I always like to take pride of my nails and go for regular manicures to keep my acrylic nails looking white and immaculate but one thing that i seem to neglect a little is my hands. I mean why spend so much on my nails if they are placed on hands that are in need of some serious TLC.
I only realised just how haggard my hands were looking when i went for a Clairvoyant reading and sat in utter shock when some poor woman had to read my palm on dry hands that looked very old. I felt really ashamed and wanted to put some gloves on and run out but instead I sat there for 40 minutes and as soon as it was over headed straight to the Trafford centre to buy hand beauty products LOTS of them too!
I went to The Body Shop to stock up and walked away with a bag full of goodies. I went for Hemp Hand Protector, Thirsty Hands Moisturiser Gloves, Coconut Hand Wash and Almond Refining Hand Scrub.
So very excited with my new purchases I went home and lade them all out ready to make my hands look more like 23 year olds hands and not an 83 year olds! Firstly I started with the Almond Refining Hand Scrub I used this to scrub my hands and spent a few minutes rubbing off the dead skin, then I used the Thirsty Hands Moisturiser Gloves and sat with them on for a couple of hours, these are actually really comfy and a good excuse to sit back with a hot chocolate and relax and not have to do any house work…perfect. When I took the gloves of already my hands were super soft and looked fresh so to finish off the regime I used Hemp Hand Protector, I didn’t think my hands could get any smoother after the gloves but this stuff is amazing, I can understand why it’s the Body Shop’s best-selling hand cream. This is now my little pot of treasure that will have to come every where with me!
So after my hand pamper I am officially a happy girl again with smooth hands and not a dry bit of skin in sight. I will definitely not let my hands get in such bad state again and will always spend a couple of minutes a day to moisture them and every week I will treat myself to a night wearing the cotton gloves. I have also got a bottle of the Coconut Hand Wash in my bathroom and kitchen sink so no excuse for grose hands now and hopefully not such shame when I next go for a Clairvoyant reading!!!
