We love fall but we hate it when our silky smooth hands start getting sand-papery as it gets colder out. We’re opting to skip the crocodile skin this fall by keeping our hands hydrated and protected against the cold and sun.
Carry one of these ultra effective hand creams in your bag and apply often throughout the day to keep your hands soft all season.
Crabtree & Evelyn’s Hand Therapy Cream ($7) www.crabtree-evelyn.caWe love this shea butter formula. It soothes and moisturizes skin perfectly, has a relaxing sea air fragrance and comes in a beautiful purse-size tube.
L’Occitane en Provence’s Mini Hand Cream ($12) www.loccitane.caSmall tube, potent cream. This ultra rich shea butter cream is instantly absorbed and never leaves a greasy residue.
Fruits & Passion’s Argan Hand Butter ($10) www.fruits-passion.comThe natural active ingredients in argan oil deeply moisturize, protect, soften and revitalize skin.
Make sure to exfoliate your hands regularly. Dead skin cells on the surface can keep your moisturizer from getting through so it’s important to prep your hands to absorb the product. You can do it in the shower every other day, using your usual body scrub.
