My Winter Hands Savior

13 Feb

ZOMG my hands have been crazy dry!  So dry that my knuckles actually hurt!  Usually, L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream does the trick, but it’s just not cutting it nowadays.  I had to roll up my sleeves and get out the big guns…

Behold!  My savior!  (more…)

Hand Cream Haul

15 Nov

I’m somewhat addicted to hand creams.  There’s just something about having soft hands and a nice manicure that makes me feel ultra feminine.  My mission to find the best lotion to make my phalanges feel like butta has led me to this post.

Here’s a large part of my collection, just to give you an idea of how much research I’ve done.

 I did include my favorite hand treatment in this photo because the lotion (the last step of the treatment) was taken into consideration for this post. However, since this is strictly about hand creams, the entire treatment was not taken to account.  A hand treatment post is sure to follow though :)

Out of all the handcreams out on the market, it’s hard to figure out which ones to buy.  I typically purchase mine based upon reviews and price.  There were certain things I liked about each one of these, and certain ones that I didn’t like.  I’m not going to go over each lotion and salve individually, I’m just going to give you my two favorites, a budget friendly one and a high end one.

Here are two products that are seemingly very similar, but oh only if it were that simple…

See who won this knock down drag out balttle…  (more…)
