The hands are the parts of the body most exposed to the cold, to water and to the damaging effects of chemicals used for cleaning and in many occupations. The nails are of course similarly damaged. It is of the greatest importance therefore to cleanse and nourish the hands and nails in order to keep the skin smooth and white and to encourage the nails to grow healthily.
