I'm 36 and have a 3 year old and 7 month old. Had dry skin in last pregnancy which is now ok but my hands are that of an old crone and despite lathering plenty of cream on as often as I remember they're not improving! Live in a hard water area but also think that washing hands often (as usual with small ones) is playing a part.
Budget of around £10 - willing to give most things a go! Thanks!

Aldi one,best I've ever used.

I use Lidls cien SOS cream, it's similar to vaseline but it works brilliantly.

Aveda

I get horribly dry hands which crack and bleed. I've tried every cream and this is the one which sorted them out. They smell lovely as well. The lip balms are shit though.

Ooohhhh so many ideas thanks so much. I'll raid boots when I have chance as a first port of call!
I don't take my rings off after loosing my engagement ring for about 9 months after ds1 was born due to removing for washing! Safer to clean then every so often!
I'm not sure I wash them/have them in water that much but perhaps I should wear gloves for washing up/cleaning in spite of only using Eco cleaners which I thought weren't waa harsh!

Definitely use washing up gloves! My hands pretty much fall apart if I don't. Water is a drying agent even without detergent.

My hands can be dry if I don't remember to use hand cream or forget to wear gloves when washing up; by far the best hand cream I've used which really works is Eucerin for dry hands available in Boots, amazing stuff!

Le Roche Posay

CCS cream not CFS cream. Blush
It is super, but greasy. Use at night with gloves. It's a Swedish foot cream. Boots have it.

Johnsons baby soothing naturals intense moisture cream is amazing for hands. Sinks in immediately, not greasy, and leaves hands feeling lovely and soft!

L'Occitane Shea is great but a bit pricey. For a cheaper alternative Aldi do their own Shea one in a massive tube that's terrific too.
