Cheap products for dry skin?

[okthen]

Since having dc2 my hands have become horribly dry. It's all the hand-washing I think.

I have used the Body Shop hemp hand protector before and love it. But at £10 a pop I can't afford it at the rate I'd get through it.

Normal handcreams don't do much- and strongly scented ones irritate the chapped skin (they are REALLY dry).

Any recommendations for a heavy duty bargain cream? I don't mind old school and unglamorous- just want soft hands!

Thanks

It smells gorgeous and really does the trick on dry skin patches. I use it all the time as hand cream and even on my face as a night cream - my skin is lovely by the next morning. DH gets really dry cracked skin on his hands when he's working outdoors - the coconut oil works better than the stuff he was prescribed by the docs

Great- thanks! And fab that I could use it on my face too. Think will nip to boots later...

You're welcome.

It's quite greasy when you first put it on but it sinks in really well.
