Horsey Hands

[companymagic]

What does everyone use to keep their hand in good nick this time of year ?

I have tried everything but again today my hands are so dry and cracked they are bleeding and starting to get very sore!

[gordo]

I believe Hemp from the body shop is supposed to be good stuff. Anything thick and gloopy though Vaseline Intensive is good too. Horrid sore hands eh

I have shares in the Body shop Hemp hand cream, but its not doing it this year..

I look like a builder at the minute haha

for the first time in years mine are ok this year. i am wearing three pair of gloves so may have something to do with it ;D

other than that i use glycerin avon hand cream.

I have tubes of L'Occitane hand cream everywhere and put it on regularly. It has a high percentage of shea butter and it keeps my hands soft. I never let them feel dry, as soon as they do, I put some cream on.

Wear gloves all the time and then when I remember I put Vaseline intensive care handcream on or Neutrogena. I dont really take enough care of my hands and am quite embarressed by the state of them!

Drapolene baby cream last thing at night before going to bed, it heals up all the little cuts and scratches and keeps them soft.

Another vote for gloves as much as possible, then in terms of creams I'll also vote for L'Occitane and also Silly Moo hand cream.

Anyone tried this: www.periproducts.co.uk/handsfirst_invisiblegloves.asp

Aqueous Cream from Boots.......Absolutely brilliant You get a big tub for £5.00 which last about 6-7months, I've never had cracked & sore hands since using this.

I spend about 6 hours a day outside and do human massage so my hands need to be looked after. I use Neutogena norweigan formula hand cream all year round, I put it on just before I go to bed and sleep with socks on my hands through the winter to help the cream stay on the skin

I usually use Avon handcream or Neutrogena, but haven't seen an Avon catalogue this year and didn't get round to looking online. Haven't been near a shop to get any Neutogena, so Got some "Burt's Bees" handcream from Amazon. I've been putting it on overnight, with moistursing gloves as well as after washing my hands. It certainly seems to be doing a good job and my hands haven't cracked yet!

i wear gloves all the time when doing horsey things, and moisturise moisturise moisturise...

i use gallons of Atrixo! i have a tub with me at all times (big tub on my desk, in the kitchen and a mini tub in my handbag) and put it on every time i think about it or catch sight of the tub lol!! it really does help...

Neutrogena foot cream! Or cheap and cheerful Atrixo. Have tried various expensive creams but they just don't work as well as these two options.

Up until 3 weeks ago ive always used L'Occitane Shea butter hand cream ...... but i picked up Aveeno hand cream samples from my local chemist and it is utterly Fantastic !!! my hands have Never felt better !!! and its only £5.00

i do also keep a tube of "Snowfire" ointment cream handy incase of any cracks in my hands , its an old fashioned ointment which stinks like hell but Works !

L'Occitaine is nice but I find it too greasy.

I prefer Liz Earle hand cream, really rich but not greasy or if I want something that soaks in without leaving any greasiness whatsoever (eg: if I'm sewing) Zoom hand cream.
