I always love giving my skin a good scrub, especially as I've gotten older and experienced my skin becoming more dry! There is something very nurturing to me about taking care of your skin. I feel like it's incredibly important to make the time pamper yourself, especially your skin, as that is the first thing that really made me feel like I was looking my age. I never really took notice of my hands as much as, say, my face or neck. However, especially recently, I've noticed in pictures that my hands are looking...well, for lack of a better word,
old. As I've gotten older and had to work a lot more with my hands, including beating them up week after week at the coffee shop, I decided it was high time I took more effort into making my hands look and feel a lot better. This week I decided to do a deep moisturizing on my hands. I want to keep my hands feeling and looking supple and soft, so what better way then a nice scrub and overnight moisturizing?
First I scrubbed my hands with this DIY
scrub
Then I slathered on a thick cream, this one from Mary Kay is great for moisturizing but my mom used to use Vaseline, and that actually worked really well too!
Last I threw on these gloves I picked up from the Dollar Tree to be left on overnight
Let me know in the comments what you do to take care of your hands.
This looks great!
