You can always tell a lady by her hands. Fall from grace.

"I guess things like hands and ladies don't matter so much anymore"

However, my hands are wrecked with all the hand washing and cleaning.
Can anyone recommend a hand cream as my mitts are dehydrated and raw. I really do look like I've been ploughing fields with them.

This lady gardener uses Savlon on sore hands.

L'Occitane Shea Butter hand cream or Neutrogena Norwegian formula ones are the most effective and heavy duty hand creams I use.

Whatever hand cream you use, make sure you apply it the same way you wash your hands.

So you know the poster/videos showing you how to wash your hands, follow that with the cream.

Also do it for just as long. I used to work with a woman who used hand cream often because she thought it would help but she had more cream on her keyboard/mouse/coffee cup etc than her hands because she literally blobbed it on her palm, rubbed it over her palms and then the backs of her hands in about 3 seconds total. Waste of her very expensive hand cream!

However my grandmother rubbed her cream in after every hand wash, following the same ‘pattern’ and length of time and she had beautiful hands. Very soft, even skin tone and youthful looking.

Aveeno Skin Relief (blue top) hand cream is the best I’ve used. Also easy to buy on Amazon or at the supermarkets/Boots.
