Vaseline. It doesn't smell great but it's great for sorting out dry skin quickly.

thanks - you're so right. used it for the last 2 nights with the gloves and huge difference already.
will keep going for a week and see how they look.
on the downside the gloves are tres unsexy !!

Glad it's done the trick!

How are you finding sleeping with the gloves on? I've tried several times (I have very dry skin) but I just can't get to sleep in them and end up taking them off.

Are you using a cream during the day too? The Clarins hand cream is great. Soaks in really quickly so you don't have slippy hands.

the gloves are fine - very thin so don't really notice them once asleep. got them from M&S.
i use all sort of creams during the day and have Clarins in amongst molton brown and L'occitaine!
i agree - its generally better than the rest - problem is i always forget to apply continually during the day which doesn't help!
