“Lesa Hannah gave me the Chanel egg and obviously I am into it because 1. It’s Chanel 2. It looks like an objet d’art 3. It brings a little luxury into my day.” Chanel La Crème Main ($70)

“I realized I had been sleeping on Lush body lotions after using and loving the Lush Snowflake Body Lotion that came out for holidays (sadly, it was limited edition). I’ve been using this floral-scented one in lieu ever since. I keep it beside the sink and slather it up to my elbows every time I was my hands, which is often, but the tub feels endlessly full.” Lush Pansy Body Lotion ($25) 

“I use this before bed and as a treatment on my thumbs, which for some reason are much drier than the rest of my hands, in the day. It’s definitely the thickest option of the moisturizers I’ve suggested, but it isn’t overly greasy, I promise. It absorbs super well.”  Lano Everywhere Multi-Cream Allover ($23)

“Other than coffee, L’Occitane’s almond-enriched hand cream has been my truest companion while self-isolating. It’s effective, its subtle scent is calming and it doesn’t feel greasy – which means I can apply and then immediately pickup my phone and start scrolling through TikTok without it becoming gross. Plus, the brand has a recycling program, which means I can bring back all my empties whenever we’re allowed to leave the house again.” L’Occitane Almond Delicious Hands ($25)

“The other product I have on rotation is Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream ($8) – this one is when I need a quick, no-frills application, no smell to distract me, purely utilitarian.”

“The best hand cream of all time (take my word) is Weleda Skin Food ($23.50). It is literally the only thing keeping my hands from falling off with all the washing. It’s super rich and hydrating, beauty director approved, and multi-purpose – try it on dry cuticles or cheekbones in need of some highlight action.”

“The lavender-scented version of this cult hand cream has been my BFF in self-isolation. As someone who has dry hands even when I’m not over-washing, the light texture soothes my skin without being overly greasy and the lavender comforts my soul.” L’Occitane Lavender Hand Cream ($25)

“A more budget-friendly lavender-scented lotion I love is this J.R. Watkins Co Hand Cream ($10.50). Its lovely lavender fragrance lingers through several washes and doubles as a light perfume.”

“As far as I’m concerned, if you find a body lotion you love, you can use it on your hands too – Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion ($12.50) is my go-to for hands and body. It’s fragrance-free, non-greasy and is a lifesaver for dry skin in the winter.”
