but if you have really dry skin i would say too, to get a cream with urea in it, perhaps eucerin. urea 5% or 10% would help your hands i think!

kati

do you mean the one with red packaging ? with sea buckthorn as main ingredient? i have tried it at the shop, and quite liked it.

My mom has eczema as well and she uses Gardeners dream cream. She loves it.

i also love the L'Occitane shea butter hand cream. it really works great. i also like the Bliss Body Butter...

L'Occitaine's shea butter hand cream is my favorite. My second favorite is Jurlique's rose hand cream.

Bath and Body Works makes some really good hand creams. They have shea butter in them too.

I have tried umpteen zillion lotions because my hands are miserable all the time-- I am continually washing my hands with the kidlets! Everything is always sooooo sticky or greasy and is scented. I am highly allergic to the smells of many lotions-- they make my nose itch and my skin crawl! I finally found something I LOVE-- it's a bit spendy but worth every single penny, imo. Creme de Corps | Kiehl's. I didn't have much on my xmas list this past year and nothing expensive-- this was the most expensive thing on my list, actually! And I got it. I made to tell him to get the 8 ounce bottle only because, I know him well enough to know he would have bought the liter bottle for me!!! Anyway, if you have a Kiehl's store around, they will give you all kinds of free samples to take home.

GL!

Warmly,

beaglette

I'm the same, my hands are ridiculously chapped and dry because I'm a constant handwasher!. I use Elizabeth Ardens 8 hour handcream and LUSH's dream cream and it works a treat.

I use Dove Protecting Hand Lotion and for the night i use the Dove Night Hand Cream. When i have very dry hands i make a mask with olive oil, mayo and an egg.

I was amazed at how well Avon's Silicone Glove works.

Well for the winter months when my hands like to get dry on me, lol. I like to use the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream. I also like to use Eucerin or Cocoa/Shea Butter. When I'm on the go, I usually keep the Neutrogena in my purse but I keep lotion in all of the bathrooms in my house so when I finish washing my hands I can lotion them and try to keep them from getting extra dry! My friend from college taught me that and I've been a stickler for it every since, lol. In addition, I like to use cuticle oil on my nails to help my hands look even more healthy.

I've used Herbacin Kamille for a long time now and I looove it! Works so well, not too thin or too thick and greasy. The smell is very light and fresh.

Creams with a good quotient of shea butter are my favorite.

A couple of years ago I restored my cracking hands to human skin with Vaseline. I put a thin layer over regular hand lotion before bed and the very next morning there was a noticeable difference. This winter I've been doing it once or twice a week and haven't had any chapping at all. If you've got some Vaseline lying around, why not try it before spending money on something expensive?

mary kay satin hands gets my vote. I like how it smells too. It's the only MK product that I have purchased more than once

My mom and I also have eczema on my fingers It seems to only effect my cuticles, but my mom's is on the cuticles, but on the pads of her fingers as well. We have found that applying a healing salve that contain calendula at night works well. There is a noticable enough difference that they don't get as dried out.

Somehow I also have it on my eyelids too, which is even worse because it makes the skin on my eyelids look dry and wrinkled when I wear eyeshadow and it doesn't get better with anything.

I'm wondering, too, if there is anyone else who has this and has found other stuff that works!!

Lush do one that's almondy that's lovely and really intensive so good for really dry hands.

At the moment I'm using Soap & Glory's hand food - that's really nice and surprisingly Tesco's naturals range has a lovely hand cream.

Just need and massaged in. It really helps with the itching as well. I also used to have cortizone (sp) cream from the doc that cleared it up but I don't really like using that unless I have to!

I used to get eczema a lot but now it only seems to flare up when i'm stressin (like now!). I must dig out that borage oil

I've tried other creams from shops etc and most of them work for a bit but then you get used to them and they stop being so effective.
