Grab your favourite foot- or body scrub and give your hands a good exfoliation. Not only will it remove little bits of rough skin, but the increase in circulation will leave your skin colour brighter and more even-looking.

Give yourself a five-minute hand massage to nourish the skin and further improve circulation. You can use any medium of your choice – I prefer body butter with a couple of drops of oil mixed in. Remember to massage the cuticles as well.

If you have the time, slap on surgical gloves for 10 minutes to give the oils and creams time to absorb and work their magic. If you’ve in a rush, wipe of the excess cream, apply a couple of drops of face serum to the backs of your hands and you’re good to go.
