| 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.

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!” |

I dont see Gold Bond Ultimate with Shea butter on there! It is the best!
I have eczema on my hands. They are dry and often cracked which makes them look much older. It may sound odd, but I use BabyMoon Botanicals Restorative Baby Cream on my hands (http://www.babymoonbotanicals.com) and they have really improved! I wish they would repackage it as a hand cream and put it in a tube!!!
basically any good lotion will work, the thing is to put it on always. We seem to forget to do this, so i decided to keep a tube in the car. Every morning on my way to work i put the cream on my hands, arms neck and elbows. Whenever i invite any woman in my car they automatically go for the tube… so it is not what u use, the thing is to remember to use it daily and a lot.
What about Neutrogena Norwegian Formula…It’s great!
