new favorite: hand cream

no.. i won't making monthly favorite posts since i don't use new products that much and recently i've been staying at home mostly so i don't do makeup much. but being a mom with frequent breastfeeding and pumping makes me cut my skincare routine to minimum.. i'm still struggling with time management, so i just slapped my face with moisturizer in the morning and afternoon, and at night if my baby and my toddlers slept early, i'll continue on with my night regime, but if they were cranky.. well, i just wash my face and go to bed.

talking about hand cream, i always think that hand cream is a waste of money.. why use separate hand cream when i use my body butter/ body lotion religiously after bath every day? i do have pretty dry skin especially on my hand and foot, moreover in air-conditioned room, so body butter or body lotion is a must for me. but lately, i found slapping body butter or body lotion is harder since i took bath very quickly and sometimes when i finished, my baby's already waking up and demanding for milk. and when i remember to use it, my skin is pretty dry and dry skin doesn't absorb well..

plus i'm breastfeeding and pumping and cleaning the pump myself, so i find that my hands are drier since i wash my hands or using soap frequently to clean my pump and it dries my hand even more.. so lately i found the benefit of using hand creams. i remembered the first hand cream that i used is the crabtree & evelyn rosewater. i got the whole rosewater line as wedding gift. the hand cream is in aluminium tube, so the lesser the product, the harder it is to get the product out and the tube is cut here and there since i roll the tube to get the product out. so i didn't finish it as the hand cream dried because of the cuts on the tube.

but my sister gave me 3 hand creams from crabtree and evelyn as christmas gift, and the packaging is different. this time the tube is made of plastic so it's easier to use. this time i have 3 different scents but i forget the names.. will update later. and trust me, now i know why using hand cream is important. it moisturizes my hands and lately i've been slapping it on my heels as well.. hahaa.. but i don't see any improvement just yet, but i feel my hands become less drier now. recently i've finished my second tube and i'm buying new hand cream from the body shop.. will update on that later too..so right now, i found hand cream is another must buy in my list. what about you guys? do you have favorite hand cream too?

*update: what i got from crabtree & evelyn are rosewater, summerset meadow and evelyn rose. i like rosewater, though it's floral scents but not too much. summerset meadow on the other hand, my sister like it that's why she bought it, and at first i thought it was nice too, but that was when i was pregnant. now, i think it's a little bit too much.. too fragrant for my taste. as for evelyn rose, i have no saying yet since i haven't use it.
