whoopsie Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 My hands are a nighmare too and can get really painful, so i'm always covering them in some sort of gloop. I've got the 'Dirty works' one from Sainsburys which is surprisingly good and some Nivea Soft in my bag. If they get really sore I rub vaseline into them before bed and let it soak in. Hope you find the right stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I work outdoors and best thing i find is E45 cream. Not the cheapest i know,but is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Someone above has recommended soap and glory (from boots) and I can not recommend it enough. It is amazing, non greasy and sinks in well. Thumbs up from me too! I was given a tube for Christmas and it's wonderful! Smells fab too! I had been using neutrogena because my hands were so dry, but although it's good, it was very hard to absorb. I'm going to invest in the soap & glory handwash now!

Looks like Boots have sold out but ASOS have the duo of handcream and wash for £8. They're both 250ml sizes so it's good value imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I use cows udder cream from agricultural suppliers - its fab stuff and about £3 for a big pot If thats a bit ewwwww for you I can also recommend the Stable Hands cream (as recommended by Egluntyne) and Norweigian formula (as recommended by several people) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I think the 'dirty works' stuff is the Sainsbury's version of Soap and Glory - lot cheaper though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I make my own from almond oil, coconut oil, beeswax, glycerine and any essential oils I fancy (lavender, chamomile and frankincense are good for very dry skin).It can be a bit greasy but just don't use too much and do it last thing at night! If anyone wants the recipe I'm happy to oblige! I also use it on feet, elbows, knees and children! Korma Kiev Casserole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
