Sorry bit of a wimpy question , but I'm really struggling with the cold in my fingers. I wear gloves all the time. Can anyone recommend a really good hand cream my hands are covered in hacks and skin is constantly sore.
I really like e45 cream, really helped when I got dermatitis from latex gloves for work. Slap it on before bed and wear cotton gloves. To keep my hands warm I wear sealskinz gloves as they are water and wind proof, but I used to and still do when I forget my sealskinz wear a pair of cheap warm pimple stretch wool gloves under a pair of marigolds-always toasty warm around the yard.
Keep your wrists warm and that will help stop your body cutting off blood to the extremities.
A friend bought me a pair of Storm Cuffs for christmas - thin neoprene tubes that go over wrist, lowr arm and hand, with stretchy lycra-y fingerless mitten ends to them.
Then wear normal gloves over top of them.
Eucerin Aquaphor....brilliant stuff!!
Agree with Nosey, Snowfire is fab especially if you get chilblains. Also Melrose works well on those painful splits on your finger tips. Both come in handy pocket size tubes. Difficult to get hold of though- you need to find a good chemist.
