Hand Cream

[lucym]

i appologise if this has been posted before, but what are peoples fav handcreams, for revitilising horsey hands?
i had one i think by Cold Label, or summit, which had natural products in it, was pink, and it was fantastic, but cant find it now :-(

just wondered if ppl had any sure favourites, thanks

I use a hemp one from the body shop. It's quite expensive but it works brilliantly

I also like Palmolive Honey and Milk handwash - that's really nice on dry hands, too

Get me - I sound like a proper beauty expert

lol

I am using Aloe Propolis Creme from FLP at the moment, which is holding my hands together nicely (no splits at the ends of my fingers this winter, woo hoo)

I'm going to be following this thread because my hands are like sand paper. My boss commented on the state of them the other day - oops

Crabtree and Evelyn Gardeners Hand Therapy does the trick and smells delicious (of Basil). Not greasy either.

I use vaseline hand and nail cream, but 'spot treat' the really bad bits with Scholl Heel repair cream - it's brilliant if your hands are really sore.

I second the Scholl Cracked Heel Cream. Sounds minging, but it fixes your hands a treat. You only have to use it for a few days at first and then about once or twice a week to keep them soft. My knuckles were so bad they just split & were bleeding, now they are in such better condition. I gave some to a horsey friend of mine who now won't use anything else either!

IV Horse do a riders hand cream which is pretty good albeit slightly pricey.

You're not the only one...mine also pointed out the permanent dirt that's embedded into the cracks in my hands

Another one for Neutrogena - really excellent - by far the best I have tried

Liz Earl, she has a web site, her hand cream and other products are brill.

I have tried for years to find a hand-cream that would stop my hands getting those awful, and very painful splits during the winter months. Am now using Starkies Beeswax Barrier hand cream, it is claimed to heal all splits on hands within 10 days or your money back. It healed all my splits within the first 3 days and I haven't had any since

It is only a barrier cream though, so doesn't really soften much, I use a cream called Beyond Self Nourishing hand cream to soften and make them smell nice.

Over Christmas my daughter wouldn't hold my hand whilst walking through town cos she said they felt like sandpaper (they did)

She now can't believe the difference, would recommend to anyone.

The body shop hemp on is suposed to be really good.

Can't go wrong with Tesco's version of the Vaseline hand & nail cream. About 69p and sinks in brilliantly, can't bear hands being sticky or waiting for cream to sink in. I get very dry hands which used to crack & split but this and Vaseline hand cream has done the trick for years.
