Remember Your Mother

When you were a kid, you held your mom's hand when you were scared, when you crossed the street, or when you just needed some reassurance. With Mother's Day fast approaching (its next Sunday), why not treat your mom to an amazing hand cream. I don't know about the rest of you, but my mother rarely splurges on special items for herself, getting her a luxurious hand cream is a way to spoil her on Mother's Day.

Here are a few products to consider:

• L'Occitane Dazzling Hands Duo Gift Set, $25. This set combines Honey and Lemon Hand Cream, a creamy moisturizer rich in shea butter and pure honey from Provence, and Petal Soft Cherry Blossom Hand Cream, a fresh floral, lightly-scented hand moisturizer. The pair are perfect for protecting and nourishing hands.
• Strivectin Hand Cream, $38. Keep mom's hands soft and youthful with this cream. This cream's specific formulation designed to improve the appearance of the hands' unique geometric skin structure and texture.
• La Mer Hand Treatment, 70. La Mer contains seaweed and incorporates it into a silky formula that will sooth your mom's hands the minute she puts it on. The result? Soft, smooth, younger looking hands...and a way to introduce mom to a prestige brand of skin care.
  
• Fresh Creme Ancienne, $135-$250 (depending on size). If you really have some money to spend and want to give mom the best, get mom this cream that can be used anywhere. It is a hand-crafted cream that takes two days to create in a monestary. It will rejuvenate her skin and make her feel like a queen.
