Hand cream recommendations pls

[Henmen]

My hands are becomeing sore and my skin is turning into mans with hard tough bits around my fingers, can anyone recommend a good hand cream that doest leave your hands greasy and is under £5 for decent size?? Tried Neutrogena ones, dont like them.

Many thanks,

I use palmers cocoa butter tub on my habds at night and it is great

i use superdrugs own. Its in a blue tube and cost £2.50. I tried cocoa butter, baby lotion (this works), and loads of other stuff, but found the superdrug one was the best for my, and smells good too!!

ditto above, also try using an oil/salt exfoliating product on them before you go to bed, it will help cream soak into the skin and soften the calloused bits

Agree with that, although oly one that ever really helped me was the unscented neutrogena one.... not the nicest, but really works.

udder cream - really cheap and fantastic for stable hands much better than hand cream

Body shop do a great 'hemp' hand protector - it's wonderful.

Ditto Hemp, they also do a cream in a cream bottle and i cant remember what its called, best to buy those hand mits, you put loads of cream on, to much to rub in, put on your mits and leave them all night, should wake up with soft soaked hands!!

Hope this helps x

Yeah, the Hemp stuff from Body Shop is good.

Otherwise NAF do a hand cream called Stablehands. Thats really good, its very light so soaks in really quickly.

Lush Dream Cream is fab

E45 cream works for me - hated Neutrogena, didn't work at all.

I use the equimins 'Horsey Hands' one, it was £8 so more than you want. That's for a large bottle of it though and with a pump action dispenser which makes it much easier to use in the tack room. Soaks in really quickly and smells nice too

Naf stable hands is nice

That Norwegian hand cream is good also - plus intensive care - hand and nail cream

 

[katiejaye]

Neutrogena concentrated hand cream is fab

 

[sally2008]

Lotil is the best thing ever - usually about £2.99 a tube I think and rarely on display but usually available at the pharmacy counter. Heals up sores and cracked skin in no time.

I agree!!! A cheap alternative is Boots' Aqueous Cream. Comes in a huge pot and costs about 3quid.
I prefer udder cream though

I've known farmers recommend Udder Cream. Apparently, there is a nice minty smelling one in Countrywide which costs about £5 for a massive tub.

P.S. I think Witney Countrywide has an Equestrian sale evening tonight.
