You’ve heard that motto many times before, right? Well — sometimes you get bored of that thing you’re using and want to try out new ones. For instance, I have disgustingly dry skin in the late winter and I know for a fact that Neutrogena’s Norwegian formula hand cream works wonders. But it’s such a thick consistency that it’s hard to rub in.
At work I’ve been using a Victoria Secret hand lotion that is literally like water, and I probably won’t purchase ever again. It smells so great though. So if you don’t need hand cream, but like to use it — I can definitely suggest this one. You don’t have to go searching for the perfect scented hand cream in a directory submission. But it doesn’t work on my hands.
I wracked my brain and now I have the best of both worlds. I’ve decided to use a minuscule amount of both creams and rub them in together! Voila. Soft, smelly nice girly and soft hands.

I find the creams I use have to have zero smell to them otherwise I get migraine fast! I heard the PINK stuff is very odd in that usually its too runny or too thick. So weird considering!
I have eczema on my hands which makes my dry skin (from washing my hands too much) even more terrible and i cant use anything scented because it will burn my hands but i use Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Therapy Lotion in the Aloe type and holy AMAZING.It makes my hands soooooo soft and isnt super thick like some hand creams/specialty lotions :)
Oh I know hey, Cinda? After getting the puppy, I’ve been washing my hands continuously as well – which at the beginning made them so raw they ended up splitting on my knuckles and stuff. It was deadly :(
I haven’t ever smelled the PINK lotion…but any excuse to go to VS is fine by me!! Will have to go check it out this weekend!! :)

[...] Thankfully I haven’t had to go to my dermatologist this year to get any more treatments for eczema. A few weeks ago I talked about how dry my knuckles were and back in December about how my eczema moves each year. I had achingly dry skin in January/February — which lasted what seemed like months but it was a grueling few weeks where I didn’t even want to do the dishes or even pat my hands dry with a towel. It wasn’t bad to the point of them cracking and bleeding (but I knew it would be soon — if I didn’t slather on all my creams on my desk). [...]
