Step 1: Gentle
exfoliation

Exfoliating is the key to smoothing the skin and prepping it for nourishment—like polishing a surface before the final glaze.

How to exfoliate your hands?

  1. 1. Wash hands with warm water to soften the skin.
  2. 2. Apply a gentle scrub (physical or chemical) and massage for 20-30 seconds over knuckles, fingers, and cuticles.
  3. 3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Which exfoliant should you choose?

C+C Vitamin Scrub delivers an effective yet gentle citrus polish, plus an aroma that feels like a fresh squeeze of sunshine.

Why it works:

  • Removes dead skin cells.
  • Improves texture and softness.
  • Instantly boosts radiance.

Step 2: Nourish
deeply

After exfoliation, apply a rich hand cream to restore elasticity, suppleness, and smoothness.  

Our recommendation:

Diamond Luminous Perfecting Hand Cream, packed with rejuvenating ingredients, helps reduce the look of dark spots—all while feeling rich but never heavy.  

Why it works:

  • Instant hydration.
  • Fast absorption.
  • Evens tone and addresses signs of aging.

Step 1: Exfoliate
for smoothness

Feet crave exfoliation even more than hands—especially heels, which tend to build up dryness and roughness.

Diamond Well-Living The Body Wash & Scrub made with sugar, volcanic pearls and olive seeds for effortless renewal.

Why it works:

  • Sumptuous yet effective exfoliation.
  • Super-fresh herbal-citrus scent.
  • Use dry for an intense polish, or wet for a softer buff.
