Beauty Marked! A Lightweight Cuticle Cream

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 15:42:56 -0800

Last week I asked you all to go beauty marking to find me a lightweight cuticle cream to have in my purse and apply to my cuticles around the clock. I recommended this Kiehl's Imperiale Moisturizing Cuticle Treatment, $19, for nighttime nourishing, but what about daytime nourishing? My cuticles are ready to see what you all found!

Beauty Mark #2, found by flutterpie, is this Manicure's Best Friend by Bliss. I am a Bliss fan and this nourishing nail cream with instant cuticle smoothers hydrates dry skin and repairs ragged edges.

Beauty Mark #3, also found by flutterpie, is this Sephora Cuticle Care Pen. I like the idea of a slim shaped pen and this claims to: relieve dry cuticles without the mess of drippy oils and greasy creams. This soothing "pen" sends a wash of nail and cuticle nourishing emollients exactly where you want it.

Beauty Mark It! A Lightweight Cuticle Cream

Is anyone else a cuticle picker? OK, it's kinda gross but it is a bad habit of mine. To prevent this nasty habit, I get manicures on a regular basis and keep my cuticles happy and moisturized. I use this Kiehls Imperiale Moisturizing Cuticle Treatment, $19, as a nighttime treatment and I love it. But with harsh winter weather upon us, I need a lightweight cuticle cream I can carry with me to apply at all times.

Let's all go beauty marking to find a lightweight cuticle cream! Be sure to come back and tell me when your Beauty Marks are up, or just tag your choices with lightweight cuticle cream. To learn what a Beauty Mark is and how to make one, click here.

Help Out Your Hands

If you spend a lot of time taking care of your face, your hands are probably feeling a little bit neglected. The summer pool and beach time-not to mention the usual abuse from cooking, cleaning, and working-has made them look old and scaly. Here are my favorite luxurious and super-rich hand creams to make sure that your hands are just as pampered as the rest of your body.

L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream happens to be one of my favorites, as well as one of the company's best sellers. This hand cream (they now have a Lavender Hand Cream as well) is a super-smoothing, indulgent balm made with 20 percent shea butter, honey, sweet almond extract, jasmine, and ylang-ylang oils. It also contains anti-oxidizing vitamin E to help nourish damaged skin. Your hands won't feel greasy or oily after use; rather, they'll feel refreshed and soothed. Buy it here for $25 for 5.2 oz or get a travel-size for $9.

La Prairie Cellular Hand Cream is a notch above the rest. Made from marine ingredients, it is luxuriously moisturizing and alphahydroxy-enhanced to exfoliate flaky skin and prevent moisture loss. It also helps hands look firmer and fights signs of saggy, aging skin. Buy it here for $85.

Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve is designed for super-dry, active hands-a great nighttime treatment for rough hands and cuticles. The extremely thick lotion is made from a special blend of ingredients including olive oils, botanical oils, and natural wax to form a "glove-like" shield on your hands. This helps to soothe and condition seriously dehydrated and damaged skin. You can buy it here for $18.
