can anyone recommend a (cheap) handcream for my weather battered hands?

[ilovespinach]

They are so dry and cracked they are sore

Get this as soon as the weather turns cold and really need a good handcream to sort me out...

Ant suggestions please ???

Neutrogena is good.

I think apart from cheapo Aqueous cream you get what you pay for.

Best for me ( but not the cheapest)is Burts Bees hand cream (any variety) they are great for my gnarly knuckles and ripped cuticles

vaseline intensive care is a good cheapish one

body shop hemp salve

I used to use the Hemp one from Bodyshop which was great but my local one has closed down....

neutrogena every time.
Or Atrixo

doublebase -its like cheap aqueous cream

votes here too for atrixo - came out best in a test I saw and really does work well - or neutrogena if you can tolerate proper handcream

neutrogena

I have eczema, hands are v cracked - it works

Oh yes, cotton gloves overnight too. You run the risk of looking like a black and white minstrel but its a small price to pay .

Actually in the fuzziness of my memory I recall a great overnight hand cream by Dove. it worked miracles.

Agree on Neutrogena.

I also have a great Nivea one that I keep at home - feels gorgeous and costs about £2!

wow thanks for all the suggestions will hunt out some Neutrogena and cotton gloves out tomorrow

A friend gave me some Lotil when I had very cracked skin on the back of my hands and it was magic - I couldn't believe how quickly it worked.

Body shop Hemp cream is good. But smells a bit medicinal and is quite expensive.

Agree gloves on overnight really works. Dh gives me funny looks though but he gave up asking about such things years ago

Neutrogena unscented!

Avon glycerine and silicone. It was actually recommended to me to reduce scarring, but is a fab hand cream.

johnsons hand cream doesnt leave your hands feeling greasy and is only a couple of pound

Neutrogena every time
Believe me, have tried them all.

Yes to Neutrogena and body shop hemp. If splashing out, I love Clarins.
