During springtime, my hands take a beating. The cold, dry air and occasional Santa Ana winds in Southern California both contribute to my skin’s inability to retain moisture. Over the years, I have tried numerous hand lotions and creams to prevent any cracks and add hydration. My latest find — a thick ginger and lime hand lotion — came last year after I was experiencing the most extreme dry hands I have ever encountered.

It’s usually this time of year when I start making lemon-scented everything. It smells so clean and fresh! I decided that a new body scrub was in order for that very purpose, but with a tangerine and grapefruit twist this time. Wonderful for your body, hands, and feet, this scrub will rejuvenate your spirit to help you celebrate springtime.
