Five Hand Salves To Get You Through Quarantine
FIVE HAND SALVES TO GET YOU THROUGH QUARANTINE
...Because washing and keeping your hands hydrated is COOL.
We're going through some weird times right now. The world is in a seriously strange place and we're all wondering what the future holds once we kick coronavirus in the ass, and when that will even be. It's scary when there is a global pandemic surrounding a virus that is so contagious and still so unknown. It's inspiring to see the world band together and share the same, "We're all in this together," message. What's unfortunate is that it's taken a global pandemic for the world to reflect on how fast + frivolously we all live our lives, and how we need to pivot and improve to ensure the longevity of Mother Earth, and the safety of mankind.
Anyways, in tandem with social distancing and #juststayhome -ing, one of the main ways we can reduce our likelihood of contracting coronavirus is through washing our hands (and using hand sanitizer, but only take what you need of that) incessantly. Only downfall of washing your hands 3,463 times a day? DRY CRACKLY SKIN, YA'LL. And let's be real, just after us Chicagoans thought the worst of winter was behind us and our flaky skin would soon transform to supple and smooth with spring and summer on the horizon, BOOM, a pandemic appears that forces all to wash hands 10,000 more times a day than usual. Which I'm okay with, cause, cleanliness. So as America transitions from unnecessarily stocking up on soap to stocking up on hand moisturizer, we're getting you ahead of the game with some of our faves. Take a look and lotion up, baby.
In love with everything from Aēsop, but its Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm gives some serious relief to rough skin. Plus, the tube makes it small and sleek so you can slip it pretty much any bag your toting.

This is the holy grail of hand salves. A little goes a long way, it's thick and creamy, and revitalizes your skin instantly. Plus, at $16 for 2.5 ounces, it lasts way longer than it should.
