Can anyone recommend a really good hand lotion/cream for very dry skin?

The tips on my fingers are starting to crack a little! I need a really good lotion without alcohol or fragrance.





Thanks!Can anyone recommend a really good hand lotion/cream for very dry skin?
Try something with Shea butter or Cocoa butter.





Before going to bed, wash your hands carefully and put some cream and then vaseline on it. Wear gloves and go to bed. Your hands will be smoother in the morning.Can anyone recommend a really good hand lotion/cream for very dry skin?
Keri is my personal favorite. It has a touch of scent, but nothing too feminine or floral. There is also a gel-like ointment called Badger Balm, but it's not available everywhere (although I think you can order it online), and it kinda smells oily and is a bit greasy, but it really does work.
Aveeno works really well and doesn't have any of that stuff, I don't think :S
E45 is a good cream its very rich though so you only need a bit but it has no alcohol or perfume and it is good for slight eczema too.
It may sound like something only old people use... but Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion is what I use! I got this after my brother-in-law recommended it. He's a doctor and washes his hands SO MANY times a day they dry out. He said this was the only lotion he could find that kept his hands from drying out so much, his knuckles would split!!





Not too expensive, either... about $8 for a tube.
Go to The Body Shop found in most malls and get the Hemp stuff. It's fabulous. Or Kerosol(not sure of the spelling) but it is another great one.
mostly anything from bath %26amp; body works. Also you could buy a Dr Scholl's Wax Kit, you melt the wax and dip your hands. That helps heal cracked skin as well. Good Luck.
