London, Nov 21 (ANI): The woman who has insured her hands for 5 million pounds has revealed the secret of her success a 1.50 pound pot of almond oil.
Gemma Howorth's flawless hands, with their smooth, blemish-free skin, long, elegant, straight fingers and deep nail beds, have doubled for those of supermodels like Kate Moss and Lily Cole in photoshoots.
Howorth, of Chelsea, west London, said her hands have featured in more than 250 television adverts and on countless billboards.
Her hands are so crucial to Howorth's fortune that she has had them insured at Lloyds of London for 5 million pounds.
"I could claim on the insurance if I get a paper cut, depending on how bad it is. If I cut my hand I might not work for two weeks, and that could be thousands of pounds lost," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.
"There are clauses for things like broken wrists, and if one of my fingers gets chopped off, I get a very big payout.
"The insurance doesn't cover me for skiing, so I ski in steel gloves. They have a bit of steel in the back, to stop you breaking your wrists," she said.
Despite manufacturers sending countless expensive beauty creams Howorth always prefers her trusty almond oil.
She uses her "secret weapon" to moisturise her hands at least 30 times a day.
"I have tested hundreds of products, and I always go back to my almond oil. It is the cheapest and best. Some other products don't seem to sink into the skin, but almond oil does," she revealed.
"It really nourishes, and you don't need separate hand creams and cuticle oils: almond oil gives you the lot.
"And you can get it behind the pharmacy counter at Boots for about 1.50pound for a 50ml pot," she added. (ANI)
