Creams, Lotions and Potions: My Top Picks
It’s about that time of year when my skin starts to get really dry and itchy and I feel like I have to put lotion on a million times a day.
Today is especially troublesome on my hands since it’s also cold this morning making them even more itchy before I head off to the airport.
To give me some relief on a daily basis, I thought I’d share some of my favorite hand creams and lotions in case you’re in the same boat 
Philosophy Old-Fashioned Lemonade Hand Cream ($15 US): A surprisingly rich cream, considering the main ingredient is water, that’s sinks into my skin wonderfully. I also love the way it smells fresh like lemons on summer day - even in the middle of fall.
Sephora by OPI Daily Hand Moisturizer ($5 - $9 US): This one’s a nice lotion that’s affordable enough to use everyday and also has an inviting, citrusy smell that earns this product more points in my book.
Glowology The Balm for Hands and Feet ($24 US): When I opened up this jar, the cream inside literally looked like rich frosting with little movement while smelling soft and powdery. Formulated with organic shea butter, The Balm comes off as uber moisturizing without the heaviness of a cream.
LAVANILA The Healthy Body Butter Trio ($30 US): I’ve actually only tried this body butter in Vanilla Coconut, but this trio set I found on Sephora also comes with Pure Vanilla and Vanilla Grapefruit scents that’s great if you love all things vanilla. This formula is also very rich and doesn’t last as long as the Philosophy lotion, but I just love the way it smells like cupcakes!
I hope your day is going to be a good one! I’m getting ready to start my weekend early and am heading off to the airport for Vegas for the Boyfriend’s birthday soon.
We’re staying at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino - I can hardly wait to chow down on a yummy sandwich from ‘Wichcraft again. Especially since I’ve been watching a lot of Top Chef these past few days. Tom, you’re the cutest bald man ever!
