I need the best hand cream money can buy!

[Elfontheedge]

I've got dry scabby flaky fingers exacerbated by washing up. Yuk. Will spend a bit if it really works but within reason!

Vaseline and those white cotton gloves overnight is good. If you don't mind the Minnie Mouse look.

I am going to get some gloves today actually but I'm thinking as well for daytime use. My hands feel really grim at the minute and I never used to have a problem with dry hands at all

www.lakeland.co.uk/8944/DermaGuard This is brilliant stuff.

I use soap and glory hand food but I have tubes of it in every bag and use it every time I wash my hands.

Why don't you wear washing up gloves? They help insulate from the heat as well so I can have the water hotter to wash up in.

Oh yes washing up gloves too!

Hemp in a tube from Body Shop - excellent stuff

I'm using Clarins at the moment - very good and smells nice.

I second the body shop hemp one. Really heavy duty stuff.

Keep some in your glove box for when you are in traffic.

You can't beat neutrogena hand cream. Cheap as well

I prefer the Body Shop ALMOND handcream to the hemp one, I find it more moisturising. Also, crabtree and evelyn la source is fantastic on my poor hands :)

Defo wear rubber gloves for washing up.

Khiel's super strength hand crem IMO is the bestest ever.

Clarins or L'Occitane both fab, rubber gloves a must for chores.

I have dry skin and use gloves and I moisturise all the time! Every sink in our house has L'occitane shea butter by it, I have a molton brown one (Nanji something) at my work desk and carry small tube of hand cream (not sure which brand) in my handbag..

Buy a gentle washing-up liquid, Fairy original made my hands horrible, use gloves when you can, put hand cream on your hands several times a day. E45 for hands is really very good, not oily, makes your hands soft, soft, soft...

If you haven't tried Neutrogena then definitely give that a go - ultra effective, dirt cheap, non-greasy and readily available.

Flexitol hand balm works for me and is quite reasonably priced.

I have a REN one, an occitane and lush charity pot. I think REN is the most effective when my hands are really dry but I prefer the smell and texture of the other two

Just got L'occitane 20% Shea butter for my similarly grotty hands. Big improvement in 2 days.

Without a doubt, Clarins.

another vote for the soap and glory hand food, smells nice and you dont need a lot of it

Aveda hand food is good
And Norwegian hand cream

Neutrogena.
