A Formula for Beauty Success: Rosewater and Glycerine
After years and years of being a nail biter, I have stopped, for now at least. And my nails are quite long these days. A thin coat of light peach nail polish keeps me from wanting to bite because they look so pretty. I am constantly washing my hands though because if one speck of dirt gets under those new nails of mine, I won’t have it. Unfortunately, constant hand washing makes for some dry hands as many of you may know–so, if you’re gonna keep up the washing, you have to moisturize, no exceptions! People always tell me how soft my hands are and I plan on keeping them that way for a long time, until I’m old and gray hopefully, so that just means I have to take extra good care of them now. There are dozens of generic hand creams out there, and some of them really work, but I really prefer to use something a little more rich in formula and price. So I used the famed L’Occitane Hand Cream with Shea Butter for a while, and had fantastic results, as I usually do with most of their products. It’s a bit greasy for constant mid-day use so I stopped. While out shopping for my apartment today, I came across the most wonderful hand cream I have yet to find.
Dr. Hunter Rosewater & Glycerine Handcream $11
I tried this on today and not only did it feel like instant quenching for my dry hands, but also smelled like roses, my favorite scent. The packaging is completely charming and the tube is small enough to slip into a side pocket of your purse. Many hand creams that are scented often smell scented in the tube or bottle but once on your hands the fragrance is gone. This cream smelled just like fresh rose water and my hands still smelled lovely an hour or two after using. This stuff is good and perfect for all of you rose lovers like me, I’m going to pick up a tube tomorrow after work! On an old beauty side note, rose water and glycerine are two ingredients that women used on their skin back in the 1940’s and 50’s. You can actually still find it as a facial toner and moisturizer at the supermarket. It smells amazing and is clear like regular toner, but the ingredients are a bit rich and may make your skin very dewey.
