A Beauty Bag Must Have: Neutrogena Hand Cream + A Dupe!

I purchased this product way back in August after I got my tattoo because it was a fragrance free, no-nonsense lotion. After tossing it aside in my beauty closet for many months, I rediscovered it at the height of dry hand season. From the moment I started using this I knew it would be life long love.

As the package says, "Just a dab heals dry skin." They're not kidding. A tiny drop of this thick hand cream will leave you feeling as soft as a baby's bottom. I guarantee it. It does have an interesting formula because it starts out as a gel consistency (think Vaseline) and as you rub it in it becomes more like a lotion. I've carried this around moving it from my backpack to my purse, my overnight bag to my gym bag, and everywhere in between.

Only yesterday did I read the back of the package and really take it seriously. It says, "And it's not just for hands. Use it on your elbows, knees, face, and lips..." Now I don't know about you, but putting lotion on my mouth just seemed weird. After trying every lip product in my collection, I had given up on having moisturized lips. So as a last resort I grabbed the hand cream and slathered it on. Crazy as it seems, this works wonders. I cannot rave enough about this product! It continues to surprise me even though I've had it for months!

And at just under $5, I think this would be a great dupe for the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream.
