Despite our resistance, aka flip-flops and t-shirts, the cold weather is upon us. Stave off the moisture depleting effects of winter with J.R. Watkins Apothecary Lemon Cream Shea Butter Hand Repair Moisturizer. The name is long but it is well worth it.

This cream is a dense, super hydrating but never greasy, lightly scented hand and foot cream. It is jam-packed with yummy "good for you" ingredients like: Shea and cocoa butter, avocado and coconut oil, and many more. The best thing about this product is the scent. When you apply this lotion you will feel like you just stepped into a wonderful bakery. The scent is reminiscent to fresh baked lemon bars dusted with powdered sugar or a decadent lemon pound cake drizzled with vanilla icing. It has subtle notes of lemon, cream, vanilla and sugar.

Not only will this cream satisfy your craving for dessert but it will also keep your skin soft and moisturized through the parching winter months. Watkins does not test their product on animals. This instant dry skin solution costs around seven dollars a tube, and can be found at Target stores, or online at www.WatkinsOnline.com.
