| 1. Udderly Smooth From LindaR in My hands need help! "Technically Udder Cream, but used by chemo patients and lots of others. Widely available (even in hardware stores!) in tubes and tubs and very, very inexpensive. Non greasy, too. I never forget that everything I put on my skin ends up in my body, so am careful to use quality products." |
|
| 2. Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion From lauree in My hands need help! "Try Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion. Original Unscented. I buy it by the gallon and keep bottles everywhere, as well as carry a small one in my car and my bag. I ... would stock up in my basement if I ever heard it was being discontinued. I am allergic to scents and chemicals so it is the only one that works and keeps my hands, nails and body very moisturized." |
|
| 3. Dove Cream Oil Intensive Hand Cream From Janet Poirrier in My hands need help! "I bought some Dove Cream/Oil (whatever that is) and it seems to be doing the trick. I don't mind the scent and it disappears pretty fast without disappearing completely. Even after hours of work my hands still feel moisturized!" |
|
| 4. Glysomed From Bobbi in My hands need help! "Best of all is Glysomed ... it is great. has Glycerin and Silicon and all the other nice stuff most good handcreams use, no fragrance so guys as well as girls love it. I keep needing to reorder as my grown daughters always 'borrow mine [permanently]' whenever they visit us." |
|
| 5. Aveeno Active Naturals Intense Relief Overnight Cream From MajorInsight1 in My hands need help! "I keep a tube by the bedside and use it at other times and on any part of my body I want to moisturize. I travel to some very cold and dry climates and I like it that this tube is easy to pack." |

6. Renew by Melaleuca From Natalie2 in My hands need help! "Renew by Melaleuca is phenomenal! The lotion has passed 2 double blind studies and came out on top of Eucerin on all counts. I have never used anything better. It passes all of your criteria! Great results on the driest skin - even eczema and psoriasis." |
| 7. Bag Balm From DeBorahBeatty in My hands need help! "I started using it when i worked at a hospital since we had to wash our hands so often and with such nasty stuff. I like slathering it on at night and wearing a pair of cotton gloves. In the morning, the greasy feel is gone (there isn't that much of one anyway) and I almost don't even need to apply anything during the day. Works on feet, too!" |
|
| 8. Healing Garden ZZZ Therapy From Lynne H in My hands need help! "at night I use Healing Garden ZZZ Therapy. It has a lavender and camomile scent that just helps me relax and softens my hands and arms. Sweet dreams and soft hands!" |
|
| 9. Kiehl's products Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve From Gaby in My hands need help! "For the holidays I was given the Ultimate Strength Hand Salve by Kiehl's, loved it and bought a large tube for my partner's Christmas stocking and he loves it. A thick rich formula, nongreasy, with a eucalyptus scent." Kiehl's Cream Du Corps From Cool and Groovy Makeup Girl in My hands need help! "I am a pro Makeup Artist, I need to use a product that has lasting power and is non-comedogenic. The Cream du Corps has no fragrance, has shea butter in its ingredients and is reasonably priced." |
|
| 10. Avon Moisture Therapy Intensive From Catnip in My hands need help! "In winter I've always had chronically dry hands to the point of cracking open and bleeding. I've tried many, many brands of widely varying costs and the Moisture Therapy Intensive comes out on top every time." |
