As the beauty lover we know you are, there's no doubt you have all the necessities for a midday refresh stowed in your bag — but are you remembering everything? Mascara? Check. Blotting paper? Check. Lip balm? Check. Hand cream? Crickets. The same way your pucker often needs a boost come noon, so do your palms. Instead of borrowing from your work wife's stash, give yourself a hand with one of the hydrating creams ahead. (Photo via iprogressman/ Getty)
