Rituals Hand Scrub & Balm
Rituals Hand Therapy Hand Scrub £10* | Rituals Ginkgo’s Secret Hand Balm £10*
So, I have a skincare routine, I have a makeup routine, I have a haircare routine and now I even have a hand care routine! Is it sad that I’m really excited by this?
I recently popped into the Rituals store on St Christopher’s Place in London to see their new skincare launches and whilst in there I was treated to a lovely hand massage. They used these two products on me and I completely fell in love!
I’ve obviously been living under a rock or something but I’ve never used a hand scrub before. I often use my body scrub on my hands in the shower, but this scrub that is specific for hands is a very different thing. I am a complete hand cream obsessive, but just like the body and face, if you don’t scrub off the dead skin cells first the cream won’t sink into the skin as well. I think it’s even more important with your hands as the skin is tougher and really suffers in the colder months.
The scrub includes natural ingredients like Karit, Ginseng and Ginkgo which help moisturise, circulation and prevent ageing. You only need a tiny amount and it rubs really easily into the skin leaving a slight oily residue which is great for adding moisture back into the hands. After scrubbing your hands gently you simply run them under luke warm water and then pat them dry with a towel. I then used a small amount of the Ginkgo’s Secret balm and applied it like a normal hand cream. Both products go a really long way and the smell… oh wow the smell. I can’t describe it, go have a sniff yourself!
The results were clear straight away and I can’t believe I’ve waited so long to try these. I use this two or three times a week and usually before bed.
My hands feel incredible! Have you tried a hand scrub?
