" What&amp;#039;s the best way to make my hands super-smooth? Regular hand creams don&amp;#039;t seem to work for me. Your hands may actually be so dry that the buildup of dried-out dead skin cells is keeping the moisturizer from getting through. Don&amp;#039;t worry, it&amp;#039;s not serious -- you just need a good sloughing, according to Regina Viotto, director of the Paul Labrecque Salon &amp;amp; Spa in NYC. You&amp;#039;ll need to exfoliate your mitts (every other day in the shower, two minutes per hand) in order to remove roughness and prime them to absorb moisturizers. Use a body scrub containing an acid (alpha-hydroxy, beta-hydroxy, or glycolic), because it will effectively and gently remove the dead cells. Try Peter Thomas Roth AHA/BHA Face &amp;amp; Body Polish, $35. Also, drench hands twice daily in a cream that moisturizes and exfoliates simultaneously -- for example, look for one that contains mineral oil and glycolic acid. Try M.D. Formulations Hand &amp;amp; Body Creme, $35. Follow these get-smooth steps to see a pair of silkier, softer hands within 10 days. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
