Girl's Guide To Hand Cream (Win A Korres Body Butter!)

Winter, as a season, has been wrongly named.  It should be Dry Cracked & Red Skin season.  Fortunately, the gods in Greece have given us hand lotion.


Straight from Athens, Korres has a collection of body butters made with shea butter, sunflower oil, almond oil, avocado oil, and red grape polyphenols.  And it's Korres, so these butters are naturally made.

There are 6 scents in all, which means there's a match for every chapped person out there - and we've got your butter-mate match-up

When the mall broke out in Christmas decorations mid-October, you secretly did a happy dance.  The only way to make the holidays better is to extend them another 11 months - which is why this sugar-plum-fairy scent is your best match.

Your favorite song: "Spice Up Your Life."  Your favorite flower: Bird of paradise.  What can you say?  You lean toward the exotic, which is why you love this unusual but sweetly-fruity scent.

Mele kaliki maka, honey!  Get out the palm trees and flip flops and refill the bronzer - you're an island girl at heart, even in the dead of winter.  Besides, wouldn't guava also make a great margarita?

Greek, Greek heritage, or just went greek in college, this is your pick.  Why?  Rubbing cooling yogurt on sunburns is a tried and true Greek cure for irritated skin - and  3,000-year old skin tips can't be wrong.

This one's for the Y chrome set, or at least for double-X girls who love a masculine scent.  Fig body butter is spicy, woody, effective, yet never overpowering - precisely the qualities you look for in a bf and your beauty products.   

While swooning over Lord Byron's poems, swanning around holiday balls, and trying to find a vase for the seventh bouquet of roses from a suitor, you keep your skin petal-soft with this jasmine-scented butter.  Hey, the poets never write about girls with chapped skin.

Now WIN IT!  Tell us what your Korres body butter match-up is, and one lucky reader WINS her pick!  Leave your comments below!

It makes me thick of warmth, sensuality and comfort. What a combination! I am also a poet, so the Lord Byron reference sold me!

Guava to remind me of last winter spent on a warm island and to get me through another cold Canadian winter.

I am a Vanilla Plum girl. I LOVE the Christmas sounds and lights, plus the fresh scent of Christmas trees. I would have it all year if I could. Plus, we are having some majorly dry weather here in California, so I desperately need lotion. Pick me!

Jasmine is my pick. It makes me think of warm summer nights, with the windows open, and the jasmine wafting through, and gently scenting the living room. Lovely.

Soos said...

Quince. It's to die for!

Renee said...

I'm an island girl and my man is an island boy. I would love to win the guava body butter and see if he can guess the scent. He loves to moisturize me. ;) We both despise the cold ... you gotta find ways to heat things up!

Beth Anne Mandia said...

I'll go with Youghurt. I live an all natural life, eat healthy, and want my skin to have the same comfort!!

Jasmine becoz it reminds me of home

Sarah said...

Guava would be the scent for me! A lot of the special moments in my life have been spent in Hawaii... it's where my husband proposed, where we had our honeymoon, where we spend all our vacations! It would be lovely to win a body butter smelling so significantly delicious! Aloha!

bbstewart said...

I think that Vanilla Plum would be my scent.

Ginger said...

Quince would be fab! ...and here I thought only my hands were looking decidedly dry and scaly. At least I'm in the company of gorgeous gals!

Tara said...

Jasmine sounds like one I would love to try. I'm crossing my fingers that I will win this!

Danielle said...

I'd go with Vanilla Plum, not because it reminds me of Christmas, but because I'm a sucker for Vanilla anything and bonus points for the plum.

Jen said...

Oh, bring me some figgy lotion! (Yes, I've been listening to holiday stations too much lately!)

Felis said...

Jasmine, baby, jasmine. I have jasmine growing all around my house.

Alexzandra said...

I am a Guava girl. If there aren't palm trees, I just don't want to go :)

Linda said...

Jasmine! The description makes me think about regency England; the huge pouffy gorgeous dresses that women wore from party to party, dancing the night away in their dainty dance slippers with courtly gentlemen who bowed and kissed their hands. What can I say? I'm a hopeless romantic and a dreamer to boot.

Anonymous said...

I adore anything with vanilla - so Vanilla Plum, it is! Hope I win. Thanks.
