This delightfully wintry weather seems to be taking a toll on my poor sensitive hands.
Can anyone recommend (or suggest) a hand cream, a proper hand cream that is truly effective.
It can be posh or pish, I really don't mind. |

Kamill Intensive- the only thing that works for me. |

O'Keefes working hand cream, the green one.
Neutrogena, Norwegian formula, red or blue topped tube.
Vaseline cocoa hydrate.
Aveda, used to do a hand cream called Hand Relief. Worth buying for the titter value.
Hope your cloven hands appreciate my recommendations.

"Okeeffe’s working hands.
Odourless but super effective.
•
Is this available in Selfridges, oh "good wife"...?"
“Good wife” is currently ironing my underpants ready for our love making this afternoon but I can confirm your best bet is Screwfix.
Always in stock and probably less than 20minutes from your door…. Wherever that may be. |

How severe is the dryness?
Nursem ointment and lotion are very good for day to day care
Flexitol or eurcerin urea creams work lovely at night
For really dry skin then cetraben is the level needed.
Oh and consider swapping standard hand wash for dermol |

For cracks and hacks on knuckles, heels, rag nails use LYPSYL Original. Has to be Lypsyl. Others don't work.
For red inflammed broken down skin from eczema or frosty damp days use GERMOLENE (or SAVLON). Needs to be a few times daily and stick with it for a week or two even after the redness fades.
For day-to-day maintenance use anything with a shea butter base and natural ingredients. Maybe with tea tree and/or witch hazel. DrOrganic have lots of options. Reasonable prices. Easy to source. |

You need to not disrupt the natural skin balance by using anything too harsh.
Try to get it back within the healthy range.
Usually things flare when balances of healthy, naturally occurring, skin bacteria etc flourish to levels beyond what they should.
Any dry patches or wet patches or break in the skin and they set up home and have a party. Even after the inflammed areas calm there'll still be a need to treat and get numbers down.
But not wiped out. You do need it all to be healthy. Just needs to be in the right balance.
If it's wet treat with 'dry' ointment. If it's dry treat with wet. |

What do you do for work.
And what do you want from the cream. |

"Caudalie Vinotherapist is my new favourite for non greasy and makes a noticeable difference.
The Body Shop Shea butter or hemp cream is excellent too."
•
Shea butter is undeniably a firm favourite for most people. I'll look up the Caudalie. 🪻 |

Moderately severe, Evå. I'm using Dermol 500 for cleansing. It's also aging skin, with the odd fissure here and there. I'll check out the above. 🩶 |

"L'Occitane shea intensive hand balm 
•
One of mine former staples. 🩶 Perhaps I need to revisit."
If your skin is very rough use Body Shops Hemp cream after your hands have been wet for a start then move to the L'Occitane 👌🏻 |

"I'm going to buy the lot! There's far too much choice here. I'm slightly put off by the unappealing fluorescent green packaging of O'Keeffe's!  "
Buy the blue one then for feet. It's exactly the same cream  |

Good lord, buy a fancy box to put it in to hide the packet. |
