What's a good hand lotin to use?

[tiny dancer]

This cold weather has made my hands fell like sand paper. Any suggestons of what I can use to make them nice and smooth?

Neutrogena put it on stick on some gloves (you can steal them from hospitals *cough*) but my mum bought them vinyl gloves and your hands are nice and soft next day if you sleep with it on overnight

I use bath and body works body cream. Works quite nicely I think - and they have very many nummy smells. I am a fan of night blooming jasmine.

I've always loved Bath & Body Works, but the lotions have been irritating my skin lately.

I use Vaseline Intensive Care lotion water resistant.

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream...it's not greasy and it's concentrated so it only takes a small dab to work well

I have the world's driest skin.

I really like Jergens lotion, but I use that for my body in general and not my hands in particular.

Vaseline Intensive Care all the way

If your hands are really that dry, I'd stick with a hand cream instead of a hand lotion, there's more oil in a hand cream to help keep moisture in. I have to wash my hands alot and so I constantly have to keep something on - I really like Bath and Body Works Soothing Shea Butter. But Lara had good advice about sleeping with gloves on at night, it can really make a diference.

This stuff is great...expensive, but works really good.

Thanks bonosloveslave about the shea butter. I got some from the Bath & Body Works, and it makes my hands feel so smooth.

A note of caution about shea butter:

I have an allergy to nuts. Shea butter is made of shea nuts, and it can lead to extremely severe surface allergic reactions in people such as myself. I experienced one of those recently with a Body Shop product, and it is absolutely beyond me why they don't carry nut allergen warnings on them.

Hmmm, never thought about that anitram......

As long as that's not an issue for you tiny dancer, glad it seems to be working for you!

Will give it a try if the shea butter doesn't help.
Thanks.

I use Neutrogena. It works like a charm and my hands are so soft and smooth.
