SOS Dry Hands

It never fails that during this time of year with the changing of the seasons and the cold weather starting to sit in that I get these super dry hands. Now being that I find it extremely unappealing to shaking someones hand if it's dry, cracked and just overall nasty.. HELLO WHERE IS THE SANITIZER! So I work on trying to perfect my hands June Cleaver style, you know the long gloves and great smile while washing dishes to preserve them. But for some reason it's only making them worse this year and I've tossed the gloves and have started the hunt.

So now I'm pulling out the glycerin-rich hand cremes and lotions to try and undo what damage has already started. Needless to say, nothing has worked so far, so a few of my close friends recommended some products that they use and upon picking them up I HAVE TO PASS ON with my reviews.

Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay Beauty

I was really skeptical of this product just for the reason that first, it's Dawn and I'm not a big fan of Dawn because it dries my hands out no matter what season it is or how much lotion I use. The boast on their product page that within just a few uses you can feel the difference. After trying their Lavender and Silk I have to say they live up to their word. With a pleasant smell and a non-greasy feeling I was rather impressed that it didn't dry my hands out. And for the price, it's a keeper for the winter season.

Neutrogena^® Hand Cream
The regular scent to me was a little overpowering so next time I believe that I'll get the fragrance free version. But overall for in the mornings and before I go to bed, it was very nice to use. It isn't greasy and it is absorbed into the skin leaving my hands soft and smooth while still being very budget friendly.

LUSH-USA Smitten Almond Hand Creme
I am smitten with Smitten :-p I can't say I love LUSH enough, my husband doesn't care for the prices (being on a budget does that to a person) but he hasn't complained since I started using it. The scent is very nice and natural, it's non-greasy but a little heavy compared to other lotions I've tried but overall it's my all day hand creme. The only con it has is the price, for such a small container it has a higher price on it, but seriously can anyone put a price on soft healthy hands?

Johnson's Baby Lotion

Now don't laugh at me this is the mom on a budget in me. I don't know what it is but I am constantly grabbing a few squirts from the Princesses hefty stash of lotion not only because it's baby fresh but because this stuff does the trick and it's dirt cheap! Maybe that's why I don't mind giving her a daily massage or rubdown the stuff is fabulous. If you don't care for the baby beautiful scent Johnson's does offer a fragrance free version.

So what do you use to save your hands from seasonal damage?
