What is Mary Kay’s Satin Hands?

It is a unique moisturizing exfoliating cream that comes in a tub. It contains tiny Sugar Crystals to gently scrub off dead skin cells, leaving you with beautifully smooth hands. And while it works fantastic, there are a few problems. You can only get it from Mary Kay. You need a rep and then wait for it to come on. You can’t just go to the store and buy it. The other problem is the price. A 3 ounce bottle is $12. With that size, it doesn’t last long at all and that means you can be reordering often.
