We all make sure we’re wearing adequate sun protection on our face and body, but it’s so easy to forget about our hands. Sadly, our poor hands are often forgotten, even though they get more sun exposure than any other part of our body. The truth is… the skin on the back of our hands is actually more prone to wrinkles and dark spots than the skin on our faces. Yikes!

I do like the sound of the Ella Bache Hand Cream, love the look/colour of the tube.
