Best lip balm and hand cream

[runandbehappy50]

I'm in a new physical outdoors role

And I'm suffering a bit!! Hands are rough and sore and lips permanently dry.... any recommendations for good products?

Nails are also battered but I can wear gloves, just don't find them easy

Okeeffes lip balm and the body shops hemp hand cream.

Burt's Bees for lip balm

I got an amazing aloe Vera lip balm on amazon after comparing ratings , I can’t remember its name but it’s so much better than any other I’ve tried.
I’m not sure about hand cream

I use the Cetraban DS was prescribed for eczema as a hand cream. Works brilliantly, comes in huge pots and really good value versus fancy handcreams.

Egyptian Magic Cream for both! I borrowed a mini pot from my Mum (she gets sent loads of free samples by one of her clients) when I went to visit ages ago and fell so deeply in love that I bought the giant sized one. It will last me a lifetime and still probably have a little leftover for embalming me once I'm gone.

Nuxe Reve de Miel for lips.

My mum bought me the Clarins hand and nail cream for my birthday and it is brilliant. My job means my hands get very dry and rough but just a couple of days using this and they are lovely and soft. It soaks in really well and has a nice scent to it too.

Weleda skin food for your hands and Lansinoh nipple balm (lanolin) for your lips... I'm v outdoorsey and swear by both 👍

Lansinoh nipple cream is amazing for lips. I have a mini tube in my bag constantly and it's the only thing that actually makes a difference!

Best lip balm I've ever used is one called something like 'yogurt of Bulgaria' (bought it in Bulgaria, strangely enough). Amazing stuff, matte finish, costs about £3 on eBay.

Most effective hand cream = neutrogena Norwegian formula.

Burts Bees lip balm, but only the original beeswax one, the other ones aren't as good.

Weleda skin food is amaaaaazing as a face cream, I guess its pretty good on hands as well.

nivea blue pot for both

O Keefe's lip balm is just the best. Looks like shit but is brilliant.

Oh wow....so many recommendations here!!

Thankyou! I'm looking them up now

My hands feel so rough and dry!

L'Occitane Shea Handcream

Cotswold Lavender make the best handcream I've ever tried:

I’ve tried Burts Bees lipbalm after seeing it recommended a lot on here and found it really ineffective. I was having to reapply about every 30 mins.

Is it the original beeswax one? It's sort of pepperminty and quite thick? I tried that that one and it was amazing, so I decided to try a different burts Bees one and it was shit so I went out and bought the original again!

After years of testing, I think the ‘ultimates’ are Carmex lip balm ( but the tub, not the tube) & L’occitane shea hand cream (25% not 20%)

when my hands are really bad, I layer up. first a body lotion, when that's sunk in I put on either nivea blue pot or weleda skin food (which is amazing, but quite sticky)

Body Shop Vitamin E lip balm is fantastic.

Palmers cocoa butter hand cream.

Oo following. My lips are so dry doesnt matter how much water i drink. They flake and peel numerous times a day. Anyone think of any reason why and how to stop it? Its quite painful too

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream. Have been using it for decades, not a single line around my lips 😀
