dry is the new ... not dry

after a very long time complaining about dry hands, i finally splurged. i bought myself some crabtree & evelyn hand cream. it's so fancy. so expensive (like, I know there's more expensive but) and wow! what average hand cream! so excited. so so excited to keep using it... bah. i'm glad i got mine on sale for $16 because uhm, no. like, maybe if i didn't have to wash my hands 754 thousand times a day because of work and the bathroom usage it might work, maybe. i've mostly been using it at night before bed, and still. my hands are a desert.

what i like that is affordable are herbacin kamille and glysomed both can be found at wal mart.

I've been through a lot of different lotions because I work with chemicals and what not being a vet assistant and washing of my hands constantly, etc. Now I have to use hand sanitizer at Sephora to clean my hands and just bleh - talk about dried out. Any way... long story short, I've used some really expensive creams and now I really love this lotion that I get on etsy with has kokum butter in it. I also really like the Hard Working Hands lotion from Bath and Body works. However, my hands are still never baby soft. I'm sure they never will be :x

Kokum butter, eh? Hmm. I'll have to look into this.

I'm sure it's not easily found in just every lotion. But I order mine from: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GourmetSoaps
