Which hand cream do you use?

I seem to spend most of the winter slapping hand cream on, else my hands dry out and crack and generally look awful.

Having tried quite a few different makes my favourite is Neutrogena's fast absorbing hand cream. It really does asbsorb fast, rehydrates your skin and leaves your hands lovely and soft. I've got tubes of it in my handbag, my desk at work, at home......all over the place really.

I have to use hand cream but cannot stand anything that leaves a greasy film on my hands. It makes me gag!

So I use L'Occitane shea butter hand cream every day and find that it does the trick. I did get a free Kiehls sample which is also quite nice, but not as good as the L'Occitane. I also use their shea butter foot cream which is lovely.

Neutrogena for me too. It doesn't make my hands greasy and I really like it. I think with most things like this it is trial and error for what suits your skin though.

I use l'Occitane too but my hands are not really dry just dry from washing up and worse in the winter.

I have philosophy time on your hands, sephora's own brand and origins precipiation in various places. I recently got a sample of L'occitaines dry hand cream which I'm also liking.

I use a combination of neutrogena norwegian formula concentrated hand cream and origins make a differnence hand cream

both of which are fab and you dont need much of (though I always use more than it says of the neutrogena one as it doesnt seem to go as far as it says)

I use aveda hand relief. its gorgeous.

I use E45. It can be a little greasy but my hands get really dry and this one seems to work for me.

Atrixo ? My nan always used to it and it seems to agree with me, some make my hands hurt like hell because they're sore. My sis has got a burt bees one she finds good.

I'm using the Elizabeth Arden 8hr Hand Cream at the moment and it's been fab. My hands were a mess down to pretty constant hand washing after having a baby.

I rub in a skoosh of baby oil ( I also put a little bit on my lips) before I go to bed. If I forget my hands are awful the next day.

I've used Vaseline intensive care for nails, as I have very brittle nails (obvious link there.) The other thing I do is use normal vaseline, last thing at night. That's really helped stop my hands getting really dry and cracked.

Another vote for Aveda Hand Relief - tis lovely stuff

Me too, and OH (a postie who hadvery rough hands before using it)

I love L'Occitane the best but the packaging is no good for carting around in my handbag, so I have some Lush Helping Hands in my sac magique which is also very good.

I find Neutrogena takes 100 years to sink in, by which time I'm booooored and fed up of it

Aveda hand relief during the day and Lush helping hands at night

I am loving the Body Shop's Hemp Hand Protector. I have really sensitive skin and eyes and this doesn't irritate me at all and works a treat on my hands. Their Hemp Foot Protector is really good too.

I really love Nivea and use it all the time on my face and hands. I also have numerous tubes at home/work/car/bag etc!

I have L'occitane in my drawer at work, and have Elizabeth Arden 8 hour for hands in my bag.

I find both are really good, and prevent me from having scaly lizard hands.

I spend most of my working day in latex gloves and find E45 good for softening my hands.

Ooh, thank you all. It certainly seems that a few brands keep cropping up.

I've got a little list now, so will start with Neutrogena I think and see how it goes.

I'll have hands like an 18 year old very soon! ? Well maybe not, but hopefully they won't look like my Granny's for much longer!

Thanks again.

Avon do a great glycerine hand cream that doesn't leave your hands greasy. Rich moisture I think its called

Thanks, I've added it to my list. ?

I'm using Champneys Hand and Body lotion, its from Sainsburys. Its nice and smells ok too.

My favourite is Clarins though...but I never seem to get that for Christmas!

Clarins is my favourite - it's one of my few extravagances!
