Ever since I was little, my mom used to soak her hands in warm soapy water with Dreft. She is a nurse, so she is required to wash her hands constantly. In the winter, her hands get dry, cracked and even bleed Dreft is a miracle worker. 2 tablespoons in a bowl with warm water for as long as you can soak your hands, feet or affected area and you won’t believe how much of an improvement occurs. I have a nervous habit of picking hangnails…Gross, I know! Well, when I make a concentrated effort to soak my hands for just a few days in a row, my fingers look brand new and I can have beautifully manicured hands. I love Dreft!
