One overlooked part of being an esthetician is the constant hand washing and exposure to cleaning products- both of which can cause dryness, texture and irritation. This makes it very hard for me to find hand moisturizers that truly work for my hands. For years, I've been trying hand creams with the hope that they will deeply nourish my skin, keep them soft and not leave a waxy feeling on the surface of my skin. I finally found a winner! 

Soft Services Theraplush Overnight Repair Hand Cream has won my heart (and my hands) in just a few weeks. Healthy skin care includes your hands, which are often the first to show signs of aging. If you're looking for a product to restore and protect dry, overworked hands, this luxe formula is packed with encapsulated retinol to encourage cell turnover while you sleep, helping to smooth fine lines and fade discoloration without irritation. It also includes colloidal oatmeal and shea butter to calm and deeply hydrate the skin barrier.

The main thing that drew me to this particular hand cream is the creative design. To the untrained eye, it appears to be a decorative sculpture that lives on my nightstand. My goal is to have all my personal spaces (including my bathroom, office and bedroom) feel like elevated sanctuaries. Small touches like ambient lighting, small decorative items and things I like to refer to as "unnecessary necessities" as inspired by one of my favorite online creators @Annivanderbeek are helping me to further customize the vibe of my spaces. The Soft Services Theraplush Overnight Repair Hand has earned its place in my sanctuary by being extremely effective and gorgeous.
