Life saver for dry skin

Today I continue to review celebrities’ advice regarding beauty products published on Cosmopolitan.com Victoria Beckham and some other ladies recommend Elizabeth Arden 8-Hour Cream Skin-Protectant" as a do-all cream in for anywhere that’s superdry: lips, elbows, knees, hands... I LOVE do-all creams because they save time and money (you need just 1 product instead of several). And this one is good, but not the cheapest -24 USD for 1.7 OZ tube.

There is an excellent alternative which became a lifesaver for me –

Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream – 11 USD for 2.1 OZ tube.

It has EXACTLY THE SAME use – extremely dry skin on your face, hands, knees, elbows, etc. It contains petrolatum, beeswax and mineral oil and I even used it on my son’s super dry legs since he was 8 months old! Regardless of the fact that it is called “night” cream I use it during the day to protect my hands since I spend a lot of time with my hands in water cleaning the mess my son creates.

You have to give your skin 5-10 minutes to absorb it entirely and after that you hands feel like satin! It feels better than any spa treatment.

How to save even more: 1. the tube lasts forever: you do not need more than a small pee-size amount of the cream to treat both of your hands (if you use more it will be too much) AND 2. Buy it on Amazon.com! :
