Cracked hands are a nightmare and if you do building work then sore cracked hands can be as big a problem as physically tired muscles. Over the last few weeks, after all my sanding of what seems like hundreds of skirting boards, my hands are a complete mess - good job I am not a girly girl!

I found a great product this week designed specifically for builder's hands. There are many men with cracked hands out there who shy away at the thought of hand cream but hands are a vital part of our body and smooth hands might impress the ladies too so it's worth looking after them!

Sue and Sheila, trained aromatherapists who run Krakatak, sent me a sample of their intensive hand cream designed specifically with builders and tradespeople in mind. I tried the intensive hand cream out and I have to say I am very impressed. Already after only a few days my hands felt softer and there was no grease in sight. So I will be using my sample Krakatak product and ordering more in the future!

From Sue and Sheila's experience, many people in the building and construction industry do not like wearing gloves and as a consequence suffer sore, cracked hands, especially when hands are exposed to drying products such as cement.

So for anyone who enjoys or endures DIY, works with cement, plaster or concrete or has to be outside in all weathers, Krakatak for cracked hands is perfect. The special formulation combines essential oils and AloeVera to condition sore hands, ease soreness, and give all-round protection.

Find loads more information on the Krakatak website and you can order online too.

Thanks again to Sue and Sheila for a fantastic intensive hand cream and letting us try out the special Krakatak formulation. We can now say goodbye to sore cracked hands!
