We’re existing fans of Tam Mason Hand Scrubs, so we were VERY EXCITED to try something new from this (appropriately) hand-crafted British beauty brand.

Tam Mason Nourishing Hand Oil performed the most amazing instant makeover trick on Jo’s somewhat neglected hands early one morning this week, before she headed to London.

All it took: a minute or two of massaging a pipette-ful of this luxurious, nourishing blend of oils into hands and nails. A minute or two twiddling thumbs, while it sank in, and hey, presto! Honestly, about fifty times more presentable: soft and nourished cuticles, dry skin banished, nails shiny. Hands were silky at that point, but not too greasy to get on with life (i.e. getting dressed and driving to the station).

Jo she now has it on her bedside table for night-time slathering. (Not letting things slide on the hand front again, she promises!)

The oil is based around shea butter oil and oat oil, along with calming rosehip, vitamin E and kiwi seed oil. It’s lightly scented with black pepper, verbena and lavender, but nothing too strong to compete scent-wise with a favourite hand cream, if you want to double-slather.

Gotta hand it to Tam Mason: this is a veritable miracle-worker.
