Creative Nail Design SolarOilWhy should nails get all the attention? Cuticles need pampering too, and this almond-scented oil is what the pros I've interviewed use to keep them looking hydrated, polished and smooth. Vitamin E and jojoba soften skin and rice bran oil and sweet almond oil penetrate nails to keep them strong, yet flexible. Sounds like a c...More |

Creative Nail Design Cuticle EraserTo cut or not to cut? That is the nail cuticle question. Get this cuticle-zapping cream and you can probably just say no to cutting. Massaged into cuticles at night, the alpha hydroxy acids gently slough off dry skin buildup, keeping nails in shape between manicures. A bit pricey for a small tube, but you'll be able to skip...More |

Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Hand CreamThough many like to poo-poo the clinical-looking, dated packaging of the Lubriderm line, the stuff inside is what matters most, right? We think so. Which is why this light-weight hand cream is a winner. It fully absorbs into dry hands without leaving a greasy residue behind. But you can still feel a veil of the product on y...More |

Curel Targeted Therapy Fast-Absorbing Hand & Cuticle CreamMy sister and I are hooked on this obsession-worthy, quick-absorbing hand lotion. It leaves hands silky and soft, not greasy, and over time prevents hang nails -- a huge plus. It lasts through a few hand washings and to top it off, it's cheap. A down side? It doesn't contain SPF, so it's better suited for a day indoors. And...More |

Avon SKIN SO SOFT Soft & Sensual Replenishing Hand CreamAvon Skin So Soft Replenishing Hand Cream is perfect to stash in your desk at work. It sinks in fast, so you can quickly return to the keyboard, and it lasts through a couple hand washings (though not 24 hours). The smell is a generic floral, which isn't exactly luxurious but it's light enough that it won't annoy coworkers....More |

Lippmann Collection Rich Girl Hand Cream SPF 25My ravaged, bitten cuticles (yuck!) were very happy with this impulse buy, even though I was rattled by the price. One application of the shea butter-based formula immediately reduced effects of repeatedly doing dishes without gloves and lifting heavy grocery bags. Extra points for SPF 25 (drivers rejoice!) and lack of ling...More |

Aveda Hand ReliefThis buttery-thick hand cream feels like a mini spa experience thanks to the signature Aveda natural-extract smell. It has a greasy texture, so it's best applied before bed; I honestly can't sleep without my nightly slathering. It soothes and softens dry, scaly hands with its exfoliating fruit acids and anti-oxidants. And t...More $20.00See more Aveda products |

Kiehl's Unusually Rich - But Not Greasy At All - Hand Cream with SPF 10The name says half of it. It is non-greasy for a hand cream, but unusually rich isn't quite on target. It has a lotion texture, not a creamy one. That's not to say it doesn't moisturize; your hands will be softer and smoother. It's the perfect warm-weather lotion to keep stashed in your car -- your steering wheel won't get ...More |

Lush Foot LotionMade with shea butter, beeswax and mango butter, this moisturizer not only softens cuticles but works well on elbows and feet, too. The lemon scent smells delicious in the container but once on the skin it takes on a burning wood fragrance. Because it's extremely thick and greasy, use sparingly and at night. Watch the expir...More $17.95See more Lush products |
