Hydration is a must, especially if your hands are exposed to the sun every day like mine are. Add in the constant testing of beauty products, which nine times out of ten end up on the back of my hands before they make their way onto the area designated by the instructions, and these 29-year-old hands can look twice their age, not to mention scaly, cracked and crepey.
Because I constantly slather my hands with lotion morning, noon and night, scent is just as important as the hydration factor. Personally, I prefer light textures and clean, barely-there scents, which is why Bath & Body Works Sea Island Cotton Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Lotion is, hands down, one of my favorites.
I recently rediscovered B&BW at a dinner party and spent the entire meal sniffing my hands instead of my food. Besides the fact that the formula is quick to absorb, the clean fragrance is identical to the scent of fresh laundry blowing in the wind, which is pure heaven in my book. And best of all, they even offer a coordinating hand wash, amongst other products, for double the pleasure.
