Have your hands taken a beating with the hard winter dryness? For simple, no nonsense moisturizing that will work and keep working through hand washings, there is nothing better than the drugstore favorite, Eucerin. I get the big jar for ease of applying, I can never get enough from the tubes at one time, I like to scoop and slather. But get the tube for your bag so you can always have it on hand. This is a thick cream but does not go on sticky or greasy, just hearty and deep penetrating goodness. I keep a jar next to the kitchen sink, one on my coffee table and another next to my computer. And like I said, it goes on clean so my keyboard never gets gunked up even when with multiple applications throughout the day. I can even skip between washes because it really gets in the skin and when I wake up in the morning, my hands are still soft and velvety. If you are wondering why I don't have one in my bathroom it's because all of my fancy lotions are there and after shower or bath is my one time during the day for a luxurious treatment. That's when I get refreshed with something in a delicious scent. And that leads me to another reason why I love Eucerin, it is completely odor free so it will not conflict with anything else I have on. Especially since I use this so much during the day, with a scented lotion I will end up smelling like a Bath and Body Works store. People have stopped buying me stuff from there during the holidays because they know I will re-gift those. I'm sorry but I just can't handle the super potent smells, just walking by the store makes me woozy. At Drugstore.com for only $12.27 for the big jar, so get 3 or 4 for each room of the house.
I was at my favorite spa, Cooper Spa at Craig Ranch, last week for a much needed massage and manicure after my long trip and saw the most beautiful line of body products and candles by Lollia Life. I wanted to take every single product home but settled on a handcream. There were so many delectable scents that I had to carry the coffee bean sachet the spa provides while testing it all out. I finally chose "Inspire", a heady scent of 1000 flowers. The box had beautiful vintage pink peonies surrounding an elegant peacock, the peacock symbolizes beauty, power and knowledge. It was gorgeous but the scent was intoxicating, made of Shea Butter with Macadamia Nut & Avocado oils, infusions of Mimosa, Violet leaves & Rose buds. I have been keeping this in my bag so I can moisturize throughout the day. With my new obsession of washing my hands for at least one minute, my hands are taking a beating. (I was told it was the only way to avoid getting sick again, wash your hands often and scrub with soap for 1-3 minutes- I sing happy birthday to myself while I do this. A lady at Neiman Marcus bathroom was like "oh, is it your birthday?" Did not want to explain and engage in conversation with yet another stranger so I just nodded yes.)
