The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

I came to an ageing process where I easily get cracks on the fingers and hang nails without special (for me) care.

I heard wearing a pair of cotton gloves after spreading a generous (or radical) amount of hand cream onto your hands could prevent the worst.

I tried the method when going to bed, putting on a thin pair I found at a 100-yen shop—with failure. They didn’t allow me my in-bed reading—I couldn’t turn pages wearing them!

Then, there is a solution—work gloves with rubber dots on the palm side.

Yes! With them I still can enjoy reading in bed.  Plus, they fit so well that they don’t fall out till morning—no mess (just imagine a generously spread greasy hand cream on your bed sheet!)

Still, being work gloves, they can stand with repeated washing.
Thanks to them, this winter I haven’t got hang nails so far, despite not applying hand cream on my hands during daytime.

Not so bad as real working fingers of a late 40-something, huh?
