LUSH Coco Lotion*
Inspired by the Caribbean, and packed with extra virgin coconut oil, which has been said to clear 95 percent of skin infections associated with the eczema-exacerbating bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus – the all-natural Vegan formula also rejuvenates and brightens skin while balancing pH levels. I uses this on my hands as well as feet, arms and legs. The scent is light and refreshing, plus I know I am getting everything natural and healthy when I choose LUSH products. $19.95, lush.com
Clinique Deep Comfort Hand and Cuticle Cream*
Super-nourishing ingredients like Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Birch Extract, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, soothe, smooth and plump hands with just one application -- I swear! Despite the rich formula, the cream absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave behind any sticky residue.
