battle of the hand salves

For the dry skin world, including myself, hand salves are my new biffle. In a Birchbox earlier this year, I received a sample of the J.R. Watkins hand and cuticle salve. I fell in love with it for my cuticles, especially. As a chronic nail bitter/picker, it made a huge difference at what I could bite/pick--making it difficult to bite/pick! (My mom was so happy!)

Many beauty gurus, however, rave about the naked honey salve that MAC released some time ago. While perusing allcosmeticswholesale.com, I saw that they still were selling it so I picked one up. The consistency of the MAC salve is much similar to petroleum jelly. It is really, really thick. Where the consistency of the J.R. Watkins hand salve is more oil based. I find that they both hydrate really well and I enjoy them both, however, I do prefer the J.R. Watkins salve over the MAC one. 





Since receiving the sample of the J.R. Watkins, I have tried every scent of hand salve they sell. I can honestly say that each one smells good, but the lavender scented one is my favorite.
