This hand balm from Australian cult favorite, Aesop, will heal the skin on your overworked hands. It absorbs quickly and and leaves a non-oily protective film around your hands to bring back moisture, supple-ness and softness to rough skin that have seen better days. Be sure to reapply after each wash of your hands.
I am a sucker for packaging and I like how this looks. It reminds me of those squeeze-tube paints I used to use in art class. The handy black tube will fit into any day bag and the sleek packaging is great for those who don’t want random strangers to know they carry around a tube of hand balm.

I’ve been a fan of Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula Hand Cream for years now. I remember the first time I used it; my hands were peeling and dehydrated and uncomfortable. The moment after I had applied it over my hands, it was like a squeeze of glycerin heaven. My hands were instantly moisturized and the flakiness was gone. Needless to say, I was hooked ever since.

This nifty hand cream from C.O. Bigelow contains 40.3% of Glycerin to help boost moisture levels, healing cracked and chapped hands. It is non-greasy and its medicated formula helps prevent future chapping and shields hands against seasonal conditions. I especially like the easy glide on texture. It smoothes instantly into hands and isn’t too cloying or rich. Reapply after every hand wash. The tube is a great protable size that allows me to just throw it into my everyday bag.
The matte, pharmaceutical packaging and mint smell will appeal to those who look over their shoulders in the office whenever their dry hands scream for some love. Get it at Bigelow Chemists for US$14. …
