Georgia likes to dry brush the backs and palms of the hands, followed by an exfoliating scrub. This can be a hand scrub like Sidia’s The Hand Exfoliant, but any body scrub will do. She does this once a week prior to adding a moisturizer and cuticle oil, depending on her client’s wishes and the condition of their skin. “This process leaves the hands glowing and improves the overall result of the manicure,” she says. If you’re worried about smudging, you could always exfoliate after you’ve tended to your cuticles but save the hand cream for last as your polish might not adhere properly, resulting in chips.
