Gotta Hand it to You

I get extremely dry skin during the winter and my hands are often the worse. I found this weekend that my sister can relate all year round with the amount of post-diaper changing handwashing she does. When you've got hands with skin so dry it hurts, not any old lotion will do. You need cream formulated espcially for your hands. That's where Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula Hand Cream comes in. I bought this after a magazine I was reading rated it as the Best Hand Lotion. I couldn't agree more.
PERKS: Just a little dab works like magic. It doesn't leave your hands really greasy so everything you touch won't look like you've smeared your hands in butter.

PITFALLS: Don't get your hands wet shortly after applying. The stuff's not waterproof so water makes your hands really slippery and will wash the stuff right off.

Available at Target or your local drugstore for under $5.00.

Tender Loving Cuticle Care

I received this product in my stocking from my friend Kristie this past Christmas. I'd usually consider myself a life long nail biter but have recently been trying to kick the habit. Now that I've actually been giving a little TLC to my nails, I'm in love with this product! I never knew how much better my nails could look with a little cuticle oil. It's about the size of an ink pen so it's small enough to carry around in your purse. You simply twist the bottom of the applicator for just the right amount of product and apply directly to your nails!

PERKS: The "paint brush" tip let's you apply the product super easily. Best of all, there is no spills and no mess and you can apply it on the go! Brilliant!

PITFALLS: You may need to give the product a little time to actually soak into your cuticles for maximum effect.
