All About Cuticles

Let's just say I wasn't blessed with good cuticles.  The part in Mean Girls when Karen says "Ugh! My nail bits suck," I sigh 'I feel ya girl.'  I have spent a lot of money on lotions and cuticle cream trying to hydrate the heck out of the skin that acts as a protective seal.  After years of trial and error, I think I have finally found the lotion and oil that works best for me. And trust me, if it works for me, it'll work for you.

The Hemp Hand protectant is my savior.  The organic beeswax and hemp oil absorbs right in to the skin. It has a great smell, too. A fair judgment would say that it smells like a hippie. No, not a smelly, haven't showered in days, trippin' on acid hippie. But an earthy, down-to-earth natural hippie.  Click here to buy it.

The Almond Oil and Cuticle Oil has organic olive oil and essential fatty acids that really works wonders on dry cuticles. It leaves the skin smooth and soft, and is great for everyday use (I actually use it at night so it can't work while I sleep.) Click here to buy it.

Both of these items are from the Body Shop.  While this store may be a little on the pricey side, I say it is totally worth every penny. This is truly a great company.  The do tons of campaigns like "Activate Self- Esteem" and "Protect our Planet" and they are against animal testing.

So try it it, out lemme know what you think! Thanks for reading :)
