Hot Oil Hand Treatment
This one's easy: heat olive oil in a dish. Soak fingers a few minutes to soften cuticles and strengthen nails. Save oil for step two:
Step 2 Hand Treatment/Massage
Do this when you've got absolutely nothing left to do in the evening. Take honey and almond scrub mix (recipe below), massage into hands and arms for 10 minutes.
Wrap hands tightly in hot hand towel, leave on for 10 minutes. Remove towels, rinse, dry and apply hot olive oil (left over from the simple hand treatment). Massage into hands, wrap hands in paper toweling or inexpensive cotton gloves. Put plastic bag over each towel wrapped/gloved hand, seal shut with rubber band around wrist. This will create a terrarium effect, locking in the moisture. Keep in place for 10 minutes.
Honey and Almond Scrub
Use half of a small jar of cold cream as your base. Add to it 1 tsp. honey. Whir slivered Almonds in a blender till they are as fine as freshly ground pepper, mix with cold cream, and you have an inexpensive scrub.
