Caring for your nails

Often we are so hard on our hands - looking after a family, caring for pets, gardening etc. Don't forget your hands .... give them some pampering too.

A simple home remedy of fresh lemon juice with a little sugar / honey. Use this to rub into your hands and leave on as a mask for a few minutes before washing off. Now give your nails a gentle manicure not forgetting to push back your cuticles and then apply a nice nourishing handcream and rub this into your cuticle area too.

We welcome your enquiries and look forward to being of service to you.
