My mom never forgets to apply her hand cream. Ever. I’m pretty sure her hands are softer than mine, and I’m not surprised! All of her life she diligently protected them from the sun and nourished them with lotions and creams, and a good rich hand cream is about the best gift anybody can give her. I’ve been trying to adopt this beauty habit for quite a while now, but it just doesn’t come to me naturally, so I end up using hand creams whenever I can remember. I have many different body lotions, hand creams, and balms in my skincare stash, but lately I’ve been favoring these two: Aesop Reverence Aromatique Hand Balm [$27, available here] and Soap & Paper Factory Farmacie Red Rose & Saffron Moisturizing Hand Cream [$16, available here].
