Now that the weather seems to be taking a turn for the better, we might be getting to the time of year when your hands and feet get a bit more exposure. But before you get the sandals out and throw the gloves to the back of the closet for another year, we've put together our top tips to help you keep hands and feet back looking and feeling great.
- Get in the habit of trimming your toenails at least once a week, after taking a bath ideally. We recommend using the Tweezerman stainless steel nail scissors
- Aim to moisturise your hands four times in a day with a good quality moisturiser, especially last thing before bed. You might want to think about investing in some special gloves to wear overnight too. Check out these fantastic Jessica products
- Wear gloves for any household jobs involving having your hands in water, even if you're just doing a quick bit of washing up.
- Wear comfortable shoes. Although we're all tempted by those killer heals, shoes that are too tight can cause blisters, corns and calluses. It's a good for your feet (and great excuse to do some shoe shopping!) to wear different shoes each day.
- Exfoliate your hands, just like you would any other part of your body. We often forget about our hands when it comes to exfoliating!
- You might not always have time to treat yourself to a manicure, so get in the habit of giving yourself one every week. It's well worth taking a look at the fantastic products from Mavala
- Walk as often as possible and get plenty of exercise to improve the circulation in your feet. If you are taking a long rest, try to literally put your feet up, and elevate your legs.
- Don't walk barefoot! Your feet are much more prone to injury and to picking up infections.
- Take the time to remove callouses and corns on your feet. We recommend the Tweezerman 3 in 1 pedicure tool
- Our final tip is... if all these tips are a bit too much like hard work, let us look after everything for you. Book yourself in for a relaxing full manicure and pedicure
