Resolve to care for your hands and nails this year once and for all, in the same way you've learned to care for your face - since hands are giving away our chronological age if not making us look years older! In fact, according to a recent HAND PERFECTION Survey, more than half of women over 30 (about 56%) felt their hands were aging faster than any other part of their body! And it’s no wonder given how poorly we've treated them over the years!
Hand Perfection Moisturizing Cleanser $30.00
1. If you (like all of us) insist on washing a gazillion times per day (which we don't blame you for!), switch to a sulfate-free cleanser like HAND PERFECTION Moisturizing Cleanser. We know detergents and soaps are harsh on skin and hair. In fact, the delicate moisture barrier is being compromised each time we wash – stripping away our skin’s natural protective oils – and making us susceptible to dryness and irritation. Look for gentler formulations!

Hand Perfection Complete Day Cream $50
2. Try to replenish those oils you've washed away (for the umpteenth time) with a nutrient-rich cream like HAND PERFECTION Complete Day Cream – which is loaded with skin-friendly fatty acids and antioxidants to nourish the delicate skin of the hands, while helping combat signs of premature skin aging (think lines, wrinkles, age spots). Plus optics technology helps improve the appearance (texture and tone) of hands almost instantly.

Hand Perfection Nail & Cuticle Treatment $22
3. Make this year THE YEAR you focus on your nails, become less reliant on costly manicures, and work on helping your nails look good naked! Naked nails can be very sexy! Gently push back cuticles daily and treat both nails and cuticles to nourishing oils that hydrate and strengthen. It only takes a minute each day and makes a HUGE difference. Try HAND PERFECTION Nail & Cuticle Treatment with a specially designed doe-footed pusher.
![]()
4. Protect your hands from the cold and sun. Apply SPF 30 sunscreen on top of your hands when headed outdoors, or slip on a pair of HAND PERFECTION sun-protective Hand Perfection Glovette in a racy leopard print. Always wear gloves in winter. Protection + style! Glovette's $35
Wishing you beautiful, youthful hands in the New Year!

What a terrific Gift Idea - whether for yourself or someone else!!!!!!

Winter months are growing nearer, and I know that I’m already starting to see and feel the effects of the cold weather. Below are some tips from Skyy Hadley (owner of As “U” Wish Nail Spa) for keeping your skin, and especially your hands, healthy!

Gloves and mittens can sometimes tear at our nails. If your nail splits, cracks or tears on the edge, drop a small amount of nail glue on the nail where it is damaged and then lay a tiny piece of facial tissue over the nail glue. Let the nail glue dry and gently buff to smooth. The benefit of using tissue rather than fabric is that when the tissue dries over the glue, it will become clear. If you use a fabric, like silk, you will see the individual stitches in fabric.
If you get a hang nail, resist the temptation to pull. Take a nail clipper and gently clip the hangnail at the root. Spray the entire nail with an astringent, to prevent germs and bacteria from infecting the nail.
DIY Treatment
If you can’t make it into the salon to be pampered, you can make your own moisturizing treatment for your hands and feet that will counteract the drying effects of the cooler temperatures.
Take one cup of regular oatmeal and ½ cup of regular milk and heat up over the stove. Stir until cooked, add sugar to thicken the mixture, and then let cool a bit. When the mix is thickened, apply to hands and feet. Leave on for 5-10 minutes. The oatmeal soothes dry, itchy skin, and the milk acts as an exfoliant to help get rid of dry and dead skin cells. Finish off with pure shea butter as a moisturizer or a product that contains shea butter
