Hand Care - essential for hard-working hands

 
 
Hand care for hands which nurture need nurturing & nourishing themselves!
 
There's nothing like an afternoon or morning spent working in the garden or in the house or anywhere, really.  It is really fulfilling, spiritually and physically, and of course you can enjoy the sights of your labours immediately - the result is all your hard work.

For many of us, though, we also feel a need to give our hands a little or a lot of tender loving care, as they can feel dry, not to mention be incredibly grubby.  So here's a selection of goodies for gardeners to help them care for their hands as well as their garden!  Or they can enjoy a long soak in the bath
