Hands work hard all year, but winter weather takes even more of a toll, and hands can be very ageing. Powerfully hydrating and designed to tone and rejuvenate with calendula oil to reduce scarring, apricot kernel oil to tighten and lighten, and sweet almond oil to soften, this oil even has vitamin B and iron to boost nail strength.

This oil/lotion hybrid formula melts into the skin, allowing your tan to develop within the hour.
