“Help! My skin’s always dry so I thought I’d seen it all - but this cold, windy winter has left my nails and cuticles a disaster! I hate taking off my mittens.”
The Problem: Dry Hands, Nails & Cuticles.
Ouch! I feel your pain - you need a winter hand-care plan ASAP! Dry, rough hands and torn cuticles aren’t just unappealing; they can lead to cracks, bleeding and even infection.
Try these simple steps to heal and maintain your hands, nails and cuticles.
The Solution: Get Religious about Routine Hand Care.
1. Switch to a moisturizing soap - you’ll get just as clean without removing all the naturally protective oils in your skin, and avoid super-hot water - it’s very drying.
2. Keep a bottle of good lotion by your sink and use it every time you wash.
3. Stash some hand cream in your purse. Gilden Tree Nourishing Hand Cream comes in a handy “stay-shut” tube that’s soaks in quickly and feels great. Another purse staple is a nail file to file away little snags before they get bigger.
4. Before bed, use a rich salve on your hands, paying special attention to your cuticles and nails.
Spa Owner Linda M told us “Gilden Tree Hand, Nail & Cuticle Salve penetrates and moisturizes nails and cuticles more deeply than anything I’ve ever used before.” Wear cotton gloves over the salve for 5-10 minutes to help the salve soak in. No gloves? Use clean cotton socks - but make it a nightly ritual
Expect substantial improvement in a week or so, and keep your mittens for the snow!
