Fad or Bad?: Winter=Dry Hands

Winter=Dry Hands

During the winter, there is a lot of dry air. When your hands are constantly getting wet and then dry, the air hits them and it can be messy. My hands are always dry and I have a hard time finding ways to keep them smooth and soft. One of the best ways is to use lotion after washing your hands or just anytime when they are really dry. Lotion is a sure way to keep them healthy and it's inexpensive and can be fun because there is so many different lotions and they all smell very good. I don't like to use ones that have such a potent smell because the smell bothers my nose and irritates my hands. There is many different types to use and different sizes so you can even keep a small bottle in your purse or some next to your sink. Lotion will come in handy because you can use it for your legs and face as well. My legs itch so bad all of the time and sting because they are so dry. They seem to be worse this year then past years so I've been loading up on lotion and remembering to put some on after the shower. Here are some examples of some lotions that would be great to try!

Hemp lotions work very well. I have ordered some from The Body Shop before for my mom since she had lots of cuts on her fingers and this lotion heeled them up in no time!



I always use this Vaseline Intensive Care because it works really well!



Try experimenting with different lotions and soon you will find one that will keep your hands, legs, and face soft to the touch!

My favorite is Baby Bee lotion from Burt's Bees. You can get it at Target. It's a little more expensive than the alternatives, but it smells good and a little goes a long way.
