The power of plants

It's easy to take our hands for granted and not even think twice about the amount of work our hands do on a daily basis, so when we do take a minute to look down at them it's no surprise most of us will be thinking we need to give them a little TLC! Washing up, baby bottles,messy toddlers,over applying anti bac gels, gardening (without gloves) and general cleaning all take there on your philanges, let's not even start on UV damage! Do you know the second give away of your age is your hands (1st being face).

There are so many hand creams in the market one of my favourites is Aveda Hand relief as it contains a sugar derived acid to gently soften hard skin as well as having a luxurious but non greasy formula that relieves parched hands the travel size 40ml is always in my hand bag and is just £6.

Another natural beauty is Boots botanics nail strengthening hand cream £3.49 (75ml) which is 80% organic and strengthens nails, softens cuticles and hydrates in one! Try the anti-ageing version for SPF protection.

This range is worth a try as it is developed with Kew royal botanic gardens and has certified organic ingredients for just a snip of the price of premium brands.
