It’s cold here, which means I’m fighting a constant battle against dry skin. Heated air inside, frigid air outside — my poor hands are rough and cracked.

Or they would be, except that I have a Secret Weapon: Bath and Body Works Just a Minute 60-Second Manicure Scrub. I cannot tell you how thankful I am for this stuff. No more dry, cracked hands! Yay!

This lightweight sugar scrub is easy to use; I keep mine next to the sink in the bathroom (ok, and I have an extra in the kitchen, and I bought Wade his own tub because I don’t want him using mine). After I wash, I exfoliate — the scrub has a light orange scent, and it leaves my hand feeling soft and rejuvenated.

(Yes, I said rejuvenated. Deal with it.)

Right now, Bath and Body Works has a great buy-two-get-one-free deal going on; I bought three tubs of scrub, but you could toss a hand lotion or foot cream in your bag instead. Whatever keeps you smooth and happy.
