How to look after your hands: Non-Oily Hand Creams
The handshake is more often than not a gentleman’s first point of physical contact with another person, and hence a vital part of the overall first impression you leave with that person. While some men still find it ‘unmanly’ to use moisturisers, inevitable trips to the bathroom and general everyday tasks will dry out your hands. Now back to the handshake; granted you don’t want them to have to wipe their hands after shaking yours (greasy moisturisers), but then shaking a coarse dry palm doesn’t exactly leave a good impression. So what to do? Today Ape to Gentleman looks at 3 of the best, quick drying, hand moisturisers to keep in your briefcase (Backpack for the Apes) so you can avoid both the slimy and crusty handshakes.
