I do a full face routine and then I looked down one day and my hands were the hands of someone who washes bottles nine times a day, because that is what they are. Hot water, soap, sanitizer, repeat. This is the little routine that got them back, and none of it takes more than a minute.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hand Cream
The one I keep next to the sink. It sinks in fast enough that I can pick her up right after without leaving prints on her, and the shea butter actually does something for the dry knuckles. No perfume, which matters when your hands are near a baby’s face all day.
Sally Hansen Vitamin E Nail & Cuticle Treatment Pen
Lives in the diaper bag. A click, a swipe around each nail while she naps in the car, and the ragged cuticles I was picking at have mostly stopped. Zero mess, which is the reason I use it and the bottle version stays in the drawer.
Aquaphor Advanced Therapy Repairing Hand Masks
Sunday night, twenty minutes, one episode of whatever I am watching. You put the gloves on and they are soaked in the ointment, and when they come off my hands feel like they belong to a person with a different job.
L’Occitane Shea One-Minute Hand Scrub
Once a week before the mask. It is a sugar scrub in shea butter, so it takes off the rough layer and leaves the oil behind. A little goes a long way and it smells like the good lotion counter.
Cotton Overnight Moisturizing Gloves, 3 Pairs
Thick layer of cream, gloves on, go to bed. The first morning I did this I noticed the difference before I got out of bed. They wash fine and three pairs means one is always clean.
