• Combine all ingredients in the bowl and place your hand(s) in up to your wrists.
• If you are planning on reading or changing channels soak one hand at a time.
• Soak your hands for 10 - 15minutes, if you want you can use the oats to gently scrub away any dry patches.
• Then pat them dry with the towel and run in any remaining oil.
• Follow with your favourite hand cream.
• Admire your soft smooth hands and all the important work that they do :)
