This is a lovely moisturizing hand cream that I stash in a bigger purse or leave in the car. It feels a bit greasy when you first put it on, but once it is rubbed in, your hands feel smooth and soft without a trace of greasy feeling.
Nailtiques Cuticle and Hand Conditioner contains Vitamin A, pure aloe and jojaba oil which nourshes rough hands and tough cuticles. Available at most beauty supply stores or at beautyrealm.com, $16 for 4 oz.
Aloe Vera is a great moisturizing ingredient because it penetrates easily into the skin and helps to remove dead skin cells. It is widely known for its soothing and healing capabilities, especially for sunburns, but is now finding its way into more beauty products such as haircare, skincare, and even makeup. It’s used for reducing scars, age lines, and blemishes. Check out a few items whose ingredients contain aloe:

In search for a great chapstick, I have found Mario Badescu’s Lip Wax. This is a silky soft lip conditioner which glides on smooth and will not leave a waxy residue.
Most importantly, I found that I didn’t need to reapply as often as ordinary chapsticks. Mario’s Lip Wax contains mineral oil, rose petal extract, and vitamin E which gives the lips a luxurious soft feeling.
This is not a sweet smelling chapstick that tastes yummy, but it holds in moisture and gets the job done. Works great alone or under lipstick.
Lip Wax comes also comes in SPF 15, which is actually is scented with blackberry extract, or in a jar. Available at http://www.mariobadescu.com/, $5.00 for 0.15 oz.
