Hands are hard to hide because they’re almost always on show. Here are our hints to help you protect and moisturise yours.

File
First, file and shape your nails using an emery board.
Remember to keep the file at a 45 degree angle and never file the nail back and forth.

Soften
Next, soak your hands in warm soapy water for about five minutes. This will get them nice and clean and soften your cuticles.
Pat them dry with a towel and massage cuticle cream into the cuticles.

Cuticles
Gently push the cuticles back with a cotton wool bud.
Remove any dead skin with circular movements then clean off with a tissue.

Moisturise
Finish off with lashings of hand cream

Tips
Strengthen your nails by eating a calcium-rich diet. Or buy skin and nail supplements which strengthen your nails and skin. Evening primrose oil and fish oil are good for both nails and hair.
