Q: My cuticles are cracking and my hands are
dry and flaky, what can I do?
A: Like slushy streets and icy windshields, dry,
cracked, chapped hands seem to be a seasonal hazard. Between dry heat indoors
and harsh conditions outdoors, it is no surprise that your regular moisturizer
can't keep your hands soft and smooth. Here are some tips:
In the summer when living is easy and humidity
high, a light moisturizer might do you just fine. But in the winter, you need to
pull out all the stops and maximize luxurious moisturizing results and soothe
and rehydrate. And use hand cream more than once a day. Keep
Herbal Hand Cream
in your purse, at your desk, in the kitchen, on the bathroom vanity, by your TV
viewing chair and apply often. Herbal Hand Cream's non-greasy formula absorbs
quickly and easily for effortless damage control. Newly formulated with Job's
Tears seed extract, derived from one of the oldest ornamental grasses in
cultivation, has been used for centuries in Asia to soothe inflammation. This
rich, velvety cream envelops skin in intensive moisture for ultra-soft hands.
Includes antioxidant Vitamin E to help protect against free radical damage.
Lightly scented formula absorbs quickly to leave skin soft, smooth and
protected. Allergy tested. Also, drink lots of water and consider using a
humidifier to add moisture to your environment.
Once a week, try this super-moisturizing
treatment. Soak hands in warm water with a few tablespoons of baking soda for
half an hour. Next, dry hands and cover them with
SD Hand & Body Treatment.
Put them in plastic bags inside old socks for 20 minutes.
