Hands and feet - we all have them - even celebrities. And their maintenance is just as important as any haircut or eyebrow appointment. Keeping hands and feet in check is beneficial for both hygiene and aesthetic reasons and has led to the creation of a growing range of specified products that cater to everything from manicures to banishing cracked heels.
BD has collected some of the leading products that cater to the hands and feet sector:
