intensive hand moisturiser?

[everythingsgoingsouth]

my hands are sooo dry-shiny looking, look 10 years older than the rest of me.
any rec's for something REALLY intensive, more than hand creams.
leave on over night with gloves or a hand "mask" of some sort?
TIA

I have very maltreated hands (NHS soap, washing my hands 40+ times a day, I wear vinyl gloves at work, no gloves for cleaning)

I don't like L'Occitane Shea Butter, it feels to 'matte'
I love their Verbena though

If my hands need TLC, Flexitol after a short warm soak then cotton gloves (Poundshop)

Or Vaseline + gloves.

Mine get little splits in winter and go red and tight

Pure coconut oil. Perfect for hands and hair!

This

I put loads on right before bed every night. It's good.

ah, fellow nurse here!
flexitol for hands? have been raving about the foot balm:)
great thanks.

weleda skin food.
if my hands are really bad (eczema) I put on a moiturising lotion (aveeno atm) and let it sink in. then skin food on top.
such a relief.

I've used Neutrogena for years at bedtime - wonderful!
You can use nicer smelly stuff in the day, but at bedtime, the unperfumed Neutrogena is marvellous.

Neutrogena concentrated hand cream - fab..

Vaseline on the backs of my hands when I'm sitting watching telly works wonders. During the day I like Aveeno because it sinks in.

Any oil put on and then layered over with a handcream will help.

thanks everyone.
will definitely try the layering, oil and a cream with my gloves overnight.
also, found a flexitol 500g for £23 on *bay!

Body shop Hemp. Bit whiffy. I know farmers who use it.

The Hemp hand cream from the Bodyshop works really well for me (and my DH). My hands have been so cracked and sore that lots of recommended hand creams (eg Neurogena) only make them feel worse (stinging, ouch!!!)

Glycerin based hand wash is my best friend. Costs more than the standard handsoap but saves me money on doctor's visits. Have had a baby within the last few months and despite all the handwashing my mitts are in good shape!

Have tried most products in the last two years. Only one I'd recommend (where I can feel a definite change if I use it) is Aloe Propolis Creme by Forever Living or something. Sounds mad, but it really does seem to work for me.

I swear by Kiehl's High Intensity hand cream. Very rich but absorbs really quickly. You can actually feel your skin drinking it in.

Boots botanical overnight hand cream....

I was going to say Kiehls too, theirs was designed for engineers or something

Another vote for the body shop hemp hand cream. I also have their oil for layering too.

And take fish oil to stoo the cracking

The best hand cream I have ever used is I Coloniali Rice Bran cream
You can buy from Amazon
This thread has just made me order more

Vaseline at bedtime works well for me

Body Shop Hemp or Burts Bees Ultimate Hand Cream.
