I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that most celebs and I probably don't have much in common. (Though, Julia Roberts, if you're reading this: I'm open to a Freaky Friday switch.) Anyway, I don't know how I came across this fun tidbit about some of my favorite stars’ (including Roberts, Victoria Beckham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) love for hand cream, but it turns out we do share a deep love of Weleda Skin Food. 

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this natural salve, you must know: It is hands down the best moisturizer ever—especially during the season where our dry wintery skin is at its peak.

Loaded with essential fatty acids and vitamin E, it feels downright decadent when you rub it into your skin. The key is to use less than you think you need (because it is very rich) and massage it in until it's fully absorbed—at which point, all that's left behind is a subtle sheen and a light citrusy scent. We've gone through more tubes of this stuff than we can count and have even started using it as a subtle highlighter whenever we need to refresh our makeup. 

Beckham has discussed how much she loves the stuff in an interview with Into the Gloss. "My body secret is Weleda Skin Food," she said adding that she applies it all over. "What I love about it is that it’s not particularly expensive and you can find it anywhere. By the time I leave the house, I feel as if it's really sunk in."

Roberts also advocated for the product in the past. "I put it on my hands after I wash the dishes, and wind up putting it on my elbows and feet," Roberts told InStyle. "Before you know it, I've squeezed this poor little green tube into a twist." Same, Julia, same. 

The best part? It’s currently available on Amazon for just $13.
