Shield and pamper those magical fingers of yours

Say what you will, but all our visible work, regardless of whether one's a carpenter, a dentist, or an executive, is done by our hands. They are the medium of the mind, I might say (and type it as I do, thus validating my own point; #sosatisfying). The life lived shows on a person's hands — and looking away is not possible. We will always look at them, notice their changes, enjoy our delicious mani multiple times a day, every day, and — use them. How else would we be slathering ourselves in intoxicating body oils, after spa-like showers? My god, how else would we fix up our brows? All that beauty and help they provide us with have to be protected and nurtured. Sunlight is THE number 1 cause of just about all of our skin's visible aging, and SPF hand creams, though still not available to us in as many delightful options as their non-spf counterparts, do both for us.

We cannot always wear a large tote to comfortably carry our body sunscreen lotion in, but on those days when only a smaller purse works with our outfit, we can always squeeze in some room for a compact-size product (don't ask us how we do it, we're girls, it's magic). Seeing that it's summer and that our hands are getting even more exposure to outside forces, SPF hand creams are something we should become inseparable from if we wish to maintain our hands' comfort, feel, beauty, and yes, our skin's health. The hand creams we've selected for you here come with SPF protection, providing anti-aging action, but they also heal, moisturize and beautify. Grab one or two, and put those magical fingers of yours to (safe) work & play.
