Hand cream for dry hands

JaneJudge

L'OCCITANE Shea Dry Skin Hand Cream is the best and I wont hear otherwise, it is however very expensive

This ^
However, I am looking for a more budget buy. Will look at all recommendations.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Hand Cream, not cheap but not much is needed so it lasts for ages.

It is a miracle worker. I actually found a tube I bought a few years ago and it worked wonders on my very dry hands. As you say, you only need a very small amount.

I’ve started to use CeraVe on my face and I use their moisturising wash on my face and hands. I’m going to get some of their hand cream which I think should be quite good.

Derma Guard moisturising barrier lotion.
I keep it in the kitchen and use it throughout the day

Body Shop hand cream is lovely (but expensive imo)

Thank you I think a need a trip into town for some sample ti try out.

I like Nursem because it absorbs very quickly and is made from natural ingredients.

I always found Neutrogena to be the best.

I agree, by a long way.
Neutrogena buy the non scented, its non greasy.

Tip: unless latex irritates you, get pair of gloves, lots of Neutrogena massaged in, put gloves on for 20 mins.

I used to suffer from eczema on my hands till I discovered Neutrogena even though I always wear rubber gloves when washing up.

Gloves in a bottle, I get badly chapped hands at this time of year. Not anymore. It really works.

I wonder if anyone will read this.

I read your message.

Haven't seen this product though - will look out for it. Thanks.

A vet nurse I knew used to swear by “Udder cream”.

Yes, I found this in America and wouldn’t like to say how long I’ve hung on to it! It’s good stuff!

I use ameliorate cream which is really for my legs—approved by the practice nurse. Be careful with Nivea if you are allergic to lanolin as I am, some of their products have a lot in them.
Norwegian formula is another I use, thick before bed with a pair of cotton gloves on, I also do the same with my feet.

O’Keeffe’s Working Hands at night for me. I have very dry skin and it’s the only thing that works consistently. I use their Intensive Body Cream on my legs and Intensive Foot Cream on my feet! Told you I (used to) have dry skin!

Body shop hemp for me too. After gardening I put it on and wear a pair of woolly gloves so that it absorbs properly. You could also wear cotton gloves overnight maybe?

I found some nail oil really strengthened my nails and smoothed the cuticles too.

My hands are so sensitive the skin cracks around the nails. I started using O,Keeffes working hands and the results were brilliant. My son a Master carpenter has had the same problem for years and now he uses the cream. We smother it on over night the relief is amazing.

I second Body Shop hemp hand cream so good for dry hands. We helped a local Body Shop consultant buy and deliver hundreds of tubes to local hospital during Covid for the nurses. Really good.

Body Shop Hemp hand protector. Nothing else works for me during the winter months. Its not cheap but so so worth it. I can get away with Atrixo in the summer which is much cheaper!

I’ve found Aveeno Dermexa daily emollient cream is the best hand cream for eczema and sore red hands.

I try to get it when it’s on offer as it’s a bit pricey, but the bottle is big at 200ml.

My father was a builder, a steel fixer specifically. He would be laughed at for using Norwegian Formula on site - until he offered them a look of his hands and a squirt of the cream. They didn’t laugh again.

Faith in nature coconut cream.. paraben free and organic

There are a few I like, but especially Turkish olive oil cream - Dalan D'Olive is good, but Lidl from time to time sell a version which is also pretty good.
