Dana's Weekly Pamper Mission

This weeks Pamper Mission:
Dear Friends,

One often overlooked task of personal grooming is caring for cuticles. Even if we're in the habit of quickly applying polish to our nails, we often skip softening the cuticles in our effort to save a little time. A few weeks of this and cuticles become thick and hardened and rather unsightly.

To manage my cuticles, I like to massage a sugar scrub all over my hands. A mixture of sugar and liquid hand soap will work, but for extra moisture, use olive oil instead of soap as your carrier. Rinse away this mixture and then use an orange stick to gently push your cuticles back. Try to avoid cutting your cuticles because intact cuticles are a barrier against infection. Finish by polishing or buffing your nails, then apply a moisturizer to the cuticles and hands. For an extra treat, cover the hands with gloves or socks to allow your body heat to maximize the effects of your moisturizer as you sleep.

Commercial cuticle softening creams may keep your cuticles looking great longer. Keep some by your bedside or in your purse to make application more convenient. Just be careful to keep away from children and pets if the product you choose has harsh chemicals. Olive oil works very well!

Bless the hands that you use to bless others! You are so worth it!

Love,
Dana
