You may or may not have noticed the lack of Manicure Monday posts recently and there’s a reason for that. My hands are a mess! My cuticles are dry, my knuckles are cracked, my nails brittle and broken…they look awful.
So when I saw this gift set at Marshalls this weekend, I had to buy it.
I first tried Soap & Glory Hand Food as a gift from Sarah at Life in a Breakdown, and I really liked it. And I needed its intense repairing moisture for my hands. It was pretty much an emergency!
So much of an emergency, in fact, that I couldn’t even wait until I got home to use the lotion – I used it immediately!
I haven’t tried the soap yet, but the hand lotion has been going on several times a day. I think it’s working! And if I see another one of these sets at Marshalls again…you’d better believe I’m buying it. I’d forgot how much I liked it and how effective it was. I might seek out more Soap & Glory products too. Now that I’m getting back into running, my tootsies sure could use a nice cream too!
What do you use when your hands are dry?
I have been using Bath & Body Works’ Signature body lotion & it works well with my hands. Since the winter has just arrived, my hands need intense care.
Winter is terrible for our skin! I’ve had to revamp all my routines
Aw so pleased to hear you have got yourself some more – I think there handcream is one of the best, I seem to either have that or Lush on the go. x
I love it! I don’t see it around too often so I had to nab when it was on the shelf
I’ve tried literally everything I could find, but I will not have to look for anything ever again! I started using the body treatment cream made by WEN (yep…the company that makes the lather-free shampoo!). Their deep-treatment hair products are named “613” & apparently I was not the only person whp LOVED the fragrance – others had been writing to the owner of WEN (Chaz Dean…super special guy) – he believes that anything you use on your body should be GOOD for your body, so…”613 Body Treatment” was born! (Buy at QVC – best price anywhere! If I apply it after my evening bath to my flaky, ND legs and arms…& hands – I am STILL hydrated & soft in the morning!! It’s concentrated, so it goes a long way – I use 613 for moisturizing everywhere (not my face – but I probably could) – it is truly wonderful, and bye bye dry skin!!
wow that’s remarkable – I’d never think of using Wen on my hands. Thanks for the tip! I’m sure I have a sample floating around that I can dig up and try.
