Exhausted from carrying all those bags?

Drop by Emmet Place at the end of your shopping trip this weekend and you can enjoy a free hand massage courtesy of the lovely folks at Kilkenny Shop.

Staff will be offering customers complimentary hand massages and product samplings of their new Irish beauty and skincare range in the Cork store every weekend throughout the month of April.

Hand massage not only feels lovely, it’s also been shown to help reduce anxiety and stress.

Cosmetically, it improves circulation so your hands look younger almost immediately and your nails will also be healthier thanks to the improved blood flow to your fingers.

While all that’s going on, you can try out gorgeous Irish beauty brands that use natural and organic ingredients and promote wellbeing, including bath, skin care, aromatherapy and beauty products from Pestle and Mortar, Voya, Green Angel, Dublin Herbalist and Jo Browne.

Handy out.
