One of the things I can’t be without wherever I go is a good hand cream.
Being a chronic cuticle picker means my nail beds are a horrid mess and my hands aren’t that much better, so I never leave home without having hand cream readily available.
What do I look for in a good hand cream?
Well, I enjoy creams that go on a bit greasy to start (I find they hide my flaky bits better) and quickly absorb to a non-greasy finish. A nice scent helps too and anything citrus scented holds a higher place in my hand cream hierarchy.
So how do the J.R. Watkins Shea butter hand creams rank?

What’s In Them?
I was ecstatic to receive these hand creams in lemon and pink grapefruit – two citrus scents I love smelling anytime, anywhere.
The lemon scented cream sits on my bedside table and smells like a freshly made lemon sponge cake (I want to seriously eat my hands after I apply it), while the pink grapefruit scent is lighter and softer and has a firm place on my desk at work.
J.R. Watkins’ hand creams are not tested on animals and include occlusives like Shea butter, cocoa butter and jojoba oil to keep hands protected and nourished.
Occlusive are ingredients (usually butters or oils) that form a physical barrier or seal on the outer layer of skin to prevent trans-epidermal water loss or and keep moisture locked in.
Made with 98% natural in ingredients, these hand creams are free from silicones, parabens, phthalates, dye, formaldehyde and EDTA. The fragrance used is 100% natural as well.
Daily Use Gave Me Softer Hands
These hand creams have a thick, balm-like texture that applies easily and absorb well to a non-greasy finish (although you need to wait a minute or two), which means no slippery hands syndrome whatsoever once they sink in.
But the best part is that my hands have been feeling way softer and I have less dry, flaky bits in my cuticle area whenever I use these creams. The protective barrier they leave on the skin is also perfect for keeping hands moisturized during the long, cold winter.
If you have hands that need some sweet-smelling TLC, the J.R. Watkins hand creams are the affordable indulgence your hands deserve!
