Oat Milk Hand Soak
This is a simple, gentle soak that softens both skin and cuticle tissue through warmth and hydration rather than any active exfoliant, which is exactly why it's positioned for overwashed hands rather than deeply calloused ones, this is maintenance and comfort, not intensive repair.
