Hands
Dry, cracked hands can be really uncomfortable. So, reclaim your hand-model credentials with some fab products that'll leave your mitts looking and feeling magic.
Exfoliators are a great place to start - wet your hands and apply a pea-sized dollop. Then, gently massage into fingers and palms to remove dead cells. Pay extra attention to knuckles, as they often become rough.
After drying, apply a rich hand cream - we love Lanolips Coconutter, which not only smells divine but mimics skin oils to restore moisture.
Treat yourself before bed by applying an oil rich in essential fatty acids. Bonus points if you invest in a boujee set of [bed gloves](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jasmine-Ultmate-Moisturising-Gloves-Skincare/dp/B0093LIMJ8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=qheatarticle203-21&linkId=e1c300155419feadf481b2f09f18e1e4&language=en_GBge=en_GB). Yep, that's a thing.

Nails
Slave to the salon? We can convert you to the delights of an at-home mani. Start by applying a small amount of repairing oil - tea tree is perfect for this.
Wait until all the product has fully soaked in, then apply a strengthening base coat - just one sweep will help ridges, cracks and flakiness disappear.
If you're a sucker for gel nails, it's time to give them a break. And, not a Ross and Rachel kind of break either...
We love Nail Inc's offering, which boosts the production of keratin for healthier nails - plus the range of colours is dream. At-home mani? Nailed it!

Cuticles
If you're guilty of neglecting your cuticles, now's the time to get on board with a little self-care.
Cuticles can often grow over the nail bed, making them look shorter, so gently push back the skin with a manicure stick, helping to keep nails healthy and make polish last longer.
If you suffer with splits in the skin, a lemon butter creme massaged into the cuticle will repair and replenish. Finally, indulge in a cuticle-friendly sheet mask.
Bursting with ingredients such as vitamin E, it'll hydrate dry cuticles and keep hands looking princess-worthy. Royal waves at the ready.
