The Hand Creams Worth Keeping Everywhere
If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a hand cream stashed in your purse, one by the sink, and at least two more floating around in the car and nightstand. Dry hands are no joke! As we age, our skin loses moisture faster. A good hand cream is essential. I don’t care if I’m shopping at Nordstrom or Walgreens – I’m grabbing a tube and taking it home with me. Today, I’m sharing some of my faves.
Long-time readers know that winter means my skin dries up and blows away. Am I the only one with this problem? You have all heard me talk about how dry my hands normally are, but lately, it’s been a whole new level. It’s probably the gas heat, but whatever is happening, it’s inspiring me to take better care of my skin.
