DIY beauty treatment for hands

Our hands take a bit of a beating as they`re always exposed to the elements,water & continual use.
Some people are born with naturally smooth looking skin on their hands, long elegant fingers &  a healthy nail bed. Some like myself were born with very dry hands, crooked fingers & not so elegant nail beds.But thats ok,there are treatments that work really well on everybody`s hands to re-hydrate  & exfoliate,soften cuticles & revive the overall look & texture of the hands.For those who are fortunate enough to have fabulous looking hands,this treatment is still for you as it will help keep them that way & they will stay looking   fabulous into  eternity

                BROWN SUGAR SCRUB

                Mix brown sugar into olive oil & massage/scrub into the hands,fingers & over each individual
                cuticle.Massage over backs of hands really well up to wrists.
                 Rinse off in warm water,place a pair of kitchen gloves on your hands & wash up dishes in really
                 hot water.This helps the olive oil residue to absorb into the skin giving a deep oil treatment.
                 After you remove gloves,moisturise entire hands in a really good quality,heavy duty hand cream
                 or balm.If you are so inclined,at this point you could very gently push back cuticles with
                 an orange stick then  massage your cream into each cuticle.

    I would love any feedback or questions regarding  any aspects of skincare,beauty therapy,aromatherapy,or the beauty industry at large. Thankyou.
