We&#x27;re often drawn to gel formulas, lightweight finishes, and water-based products. While this is a perfectly valid option, our hands need a little more TLC than the occasional hand spa. Personally, I love using hand creams, as they are formulated to really restore and nourish our tired, exhausted hands. Regular lotions just won&#x27;t do. Enter: Drunk Elephant&#x27;s Therabu Buttered Reparative Hand Cream! It&#x27;s a nourishing hand cream that delivers 24-hour moisture, softening and repairing dry hands while diminishing visible signs of aging. It also has an intensely rich marula and shea butters, and calming oat extracts absorb quickly and soothe and replenish skin. I say don&#x27;t travel without it! <em>Shop <a href="https://www.lookatme.com.ph/therabu-buttered-reparative-handcream/p/BP_70105474" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</em><strong></strong></p><div><strong><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1746160007504downloadgram.org_477601483_18488956534031542_1115827951773636305_n.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Drunk Elephant</span></span></span><br/></strong></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Nadine Lustre Swears by this Coconut Personal Care Line</strong></div><p>Whatever keeps Nadine Lustre looking like a beach babe year-round, we want it! The actress/entrepreneur constantly makes us crave the beach 24/7, and it&#x27;s not just because of the beautiful places she goes to; it&#x27;s her tropical goddess look! We recently found out that Nadine trusts Thai brand Tropicana for her body care, a line that highlights natural coconuts as its main ingredient. Dry, flaky skin is not part of Nadine&#x27;s vocabulary, thanks to Tropicana&#x27;s Natural Coconut Whipp Foam Soap Bar. Made with 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil, this soap deeply nourishes while keeping your skin soft and smooth—and smelling deliciously like coconuts! <em>Shop <a href="https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/pdp-i5021021659-s29375548032.html?c=&amp;channelLpJumpArgs=&amp;clickTrackInfo=query%253ATropicana%253Bnid%253A5021021659%253Bsrc%253AlazadaInShopSrp%253Brn%253Ab4b5652a4576746ebed8a5b710d8f27c%253Bregion%253Aph%253Bsku%253A5021021659_PH%253Bprice%253A295%253Bclient%253Adesktop%253Bsupplier_id%253A500183355079%253Bbiz_source%253Ahttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.lazada.com.ph%252F%253Bslot%253A6%253Butlog_bucket_id%253A470687%253Basc_category_id%253A25122%253Bitem_id%253A5021021659%253Bsku_id%253A29375548032%253Bshop_id%253A2573989%253BtemplateInfo%253A107881_D_E%2523-1_A3_C%2523120442_A0%2523&amp;freeshipping=1&amp;fs_ab=2&amp;fuse_fs=&amp;lang=en&amp;location=Metro%20Manila~Quezon%20City&amp;price=295&amp;priceCompare=skuId%3A29375548032%3Bsource%3Alazada-search-voucher-in-shop%3Bsn%3Ab4b5652a4576746ebed8a5b710d8f27c%3BoriginPrice%3A29500%3BdisplayPrice%3A29500%3BsinglePromotionId%3A-1%3BsingleToolCode%3A-1%3BvoucherPricePlugin%3A0%3Btimestamp%3A1746168721845&amp;ratingscore=&amp;request_id=b4b5652a4576746ebed8a5b710d8f27c&amp;review=&amp;sale=0&amp;search=1&amp;spm=a2o4l.store_keyword.list.6&amp;stock=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</em><strong></strong><br/></p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:600px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1746160375482downloadgram.org_490765966_122218152014182809_5605229921318402415_n.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Tropicana</span></span></span></div><div><strong>NARS unveils its most radiant launch yet with the Light Reflecting Collection</strong></div><p>It’s one that beauty lovers will want to keep on their radar.
