On a related note (shocking for me, I know) there was a New York Times article a couple of weeks back. It talked about how hand plastic surgery procedures were all the rage.
Turns out, the skin on our hands is generally thinner than the skin on our face. In fact, the skin on our hands is the consistency of an eyelid.
Which could explain why I used to look like I was involved in some weird Freaky Friday incident with Betty White. One where I somehow ended up with her hands and eyelids. I’m trying to sell it to Disney, but they’re acting like they’re not interested. I think they’re just playing hardball. (I watch Entourage. I know the drill.)
So anyway, in the New York Times article, they interviewed a famous hand model. Here are some of her secrets: she applies hand lotion every hour, wears gloves (to do pretty much everything) and tries not to write with pens.
That hand cream… Jurlique Rose Hand Cream. Not only does it give you long-lasting, rose-petal, soft skin but it smells intoxicating, like fresh roses at the peak of their bloom. (Not like a scented plug-in air freshener.)
FYI: The Freaky Friday movie has a happy ending. Betty White gets her hands back. But I think there may be a sequel, because I still have her eyelids.
Thanks to Jurlique, I never forget my hourly application of hand cream. (Just curious, how do you know when you have an OCD?)
