Need to find something I can wear during the day. I work in an office so I still need to be able to grip a pen and not have it slip out of my hand! Have been on holiday recently (and advancing towards 40) and noticed my hands looking slightly crepey recently. Don't mind scented hand creams either. Thanks Grin

THIS ONE

Absorbs really quickly, and the pump means you'll actually use it!

thanks Hazel (great name BTW!) will try and track that one down, sounds ideal

L'Occitane

Clarins do a lovely one - bit pricey though. I think the Dove anti ageing one is good too.

I love Vaseline Dermacare lotion.

I've got really dry skin but hate greasy feeling lotions. I've used this for years and it soaks in really quickly.

Caudalie. Brilliant. Smells divine.

Dermalogica hand and nail cream or L'Occtane. Both wonderful

LizEarle, fabulous matt finish but gorgeously moisturising. Smells divine

Garnier Hydralock - smells weird but really good and non-greasy. I like the Clarins one too but it's too big for carrying in a handbag.

I just got a great one called gloves in a bottle, it doesn't wash off and forms a barrier so your skin doesn't get stipped of moisture: www.victoriahealth.com/product/Gloves-In-A-Bottle/6094/0/

My hands have been chronically dry as we're potty training just now and I'm forever cleaning up and washing my hands! This stuff makes them feel amazing.

kyacat - Aveeno is similar to the gloves one and easy to find for future emergencies.

Kiehls ultimate hand salve is the best that I have tried.

I recently bought one from Aldi that costs under a pound and becomes non greasy within seconds. Far better than expensive ones I've tried.

itsabiggywhatdoidonow · 20/04/2011 15:22

savlon barrier cream is the best I have used so far

paddypoopants · 20/04/2011 15:23

I use neutragena anti-aging one as it has an spf15 in it and is cheap and lasts ages. Never noticed it being greasy.

lots of suggestions, thanks all
