Hands getting very rough skin from mucking out

[Wildrobin]

Does anyone else have this? I am starting to mind how rough my hands feel and wondering if anything I can do to improve it!! Hand cream isn't helping.

Gloves and hand cream

Plastic gloves to do everything. With hand cream on first.
I hate single use plastic but it’s the only thing that works.

Always wear gloves.

I don’t wear gloves because they annoy me but I found O’Keeffe’s Working Hands hand cream is amazing.

Thank you all, I am going to wear gloves and also will try the O'Keefe's. I appreciate it!

Be careful about making your hands too soft - I found this out the hard way when I went to uni I used to come home and get horrible blisters from mucking out. Quite grateful for my calluses now!

Fleece-lines Gardening gloves are the way forward. Waterproof and warm. O'keefes is brilliant.
if you want a treat, try L'Occitane- even better

Look at your hand wash. I've recently found some carex and cussons ones give me very dry scaly skin. I assume it's an allergy to something in them.
