How Jamie Chung Deals With Hand Shaming on Instagram

When Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg got engaged, we all went crazy over the ring. But not everyone was as enthused. Let her explain…

“Someone actually commented on my Instagram when I was posting pictures of my ring and they were like, ‘Whoa, your hands! No bueno. You should hire a hand model.’ I’m super self-conscious about it now.” she says.

So how does she deal? It’s simple. “We spend so much time paying attention to our faces, but honestly, our hands are the first part of our bodies exposed most to the elements. You really start to see the wear and tear of the skin there. Now I use Jergens BB Hand. It’s got SPF 20 and it leaves your hands feeling extra smooth. It’s great. In terms of manicures, I swear my cuticles crack so quickly. I need to get a manicure every week. I love gels, but I can’t get them quite often because after taking them off, my nails are left pretty brittle.”
