Hands and Feet

After a long winter wrapped up in tights and gloves, your feet and hands might need a course of therapy before they’re ready for the summer. What’s the dose? These miracle cures from the skincare doctors. You’ll have a clean bill of health in no time...

Dr Nick Lowe is an internationally renowned Consultant Dermatologist with over 30 years’ experience. All the more reason to trust his Double Duty SPF15 Hand Cream, £12.67 (www.drnicklowe.com), a superb multi-tasking hand cream boosted with protective SPF15, an advanced dual-action Vitamin A, potent moisturisers and a Mulberry-derived skin lightener to help preserve the youthfulness of hands, nails and cuticles.

Let’s not neglect our nails. Keep Dr Haushcka’s Neem Nail Oil, £23.48 (www.drhauschka.co.uk) on hand to soften and protect cuticles and aid the formation of strong nail tissue. A couple of drops of oil are massaged into the cuticle twice a day – the massage itself encourages nail growth. It’s a must-have for healthy talons.

Back to the laboratory for a little research – and we’ve discovered Robelyn Labs, a company that specialises in safe and effective maternity skincare products that can be used by everyone. Their Refreshing Foot Therapy Gel, £10 (www.beautylusthaves.com) is a soothing gel that provides fast relief for sore and tired feet using special natural oils and chlorophyll to combat foot odours. Use in the morning to energise feet, it’s easily absorbed with no greasy feel or stickiness.
