Beauty Bible Loves… Mii Refine & Pamper Intensive Cream

What works, with almost all beauty products, is diligence.

You cannot possibly expect any product – from an age-defying face cream to a cuticle treatment via a hair conditioner – to work its magic from the bathroom shelf or the bedside table.

But use a product like Mii Refine & Pamper Intensive Cream  on a daily basis and you will – as we have done – see quite a difference. Now, cuticles might seems insignificant, but keeping them healthy and groomed makes a huge difference to how good your nails will look (and, as winter/tights season approaches, stop them snagging on your Wolfords). Dry and cracked cuticles also create an opening for bacteria (and it is quite extraordinary how disproportionate the pain from an infected cuticle is!)

This little tube has become quite the bestseller for Mii, we gather. And there’s a lot to like about it: an intensively nourishing blend of shea butter, aloe vera, antioxidant blueberry, a Buddleia davidii extract, with vitamin E, chamomile and thyme that is very pleasant to use.

Our tip, as ever, is to keep a cuticle treatment in your handbag, where you can reach for it when someone’s late, or you’re stuck on a bus, or some other unexpected pause in your day

In other words, if you’re going to be twiddling your thumbs, use the time to massage your cuticles. (A better use of your time, we promise, than idly scrolling social media.)
