Needing some advice...
So, I am opening it up here for some suggestions. What do you use? Do you use different products for night/day and what do you use for in between? Tell me about your hand care routine. Please...I am desperate for some tried and true recommendations!
I use a lavender lotion from Trader Joe's. It's their generic version of the Avalon cosmetics lavender lotion and it's great, not greasy at all!
ReplyDeleteI have always stuck with the vaseline and gloves regimen at night when my hands were super dry. I put sunscreen on the backs of my hands every day (well, when I remember) and this helps to slow down the aging process. I also exfoliate the backs of my hands with various scrubs and then moisturize right after.
ReplyDeleteThis stuff is fantastic...Neutrogena Norwegian Formula fast absorbing hand cream! It works wonders!
ReplyDeleteRight now I am using Jergens. Because it reminds me of my Grandmother. :) But, the truth is I have always used lotion liberally. I rarely pass the lotion bottle without doing a little squirt! But, I'm not sure my hands are what your looking for. I do think the vaseline with gloves overnight is a good thing. I've actually done that with my feet.
ReplyDeleteFor every day I use Neutrogena as it is rather thick, but not greasy. When they are red I use either Vaseline or Burt's Bee's hand cream and gloves.
ReplyDeleteMy MIL gave me a tube of the Say Yes to Carrots hand and elbow cream and I LOVE it!! I've been using it all winter, just once at night before bed and I hardly ever have to use anything during the day. Used to, I would have to put lotion on all day long, especially living in the desert. And it does have Vitamin C in it, too. I think they sell it at CVS, but if you can't find it out anywhere, try ordering it online :-)
ReplyDeletePure Shea butter. It's about $30 a jar-but nothing works better. Go to Beth Bath & Beyond-they should have something close. Or if you live near a nice spa-they will have some really great PURE shea butter (lavendar is my favorite).
ReplyDeleteI use Surgeons Secret and Gold Bond.
ReplyDeleteYou living up here in ther great white north, leaves my skin really dry. During the winter months I either take baths or sponge myself down with good old pain mineral oil. It works wonders!
ReplyDeleteTry Burt's Bees Ageless handcream with pomegranate or Kiehl's ultimate strength hand salve. The Kiehl's is a bit of a splurge, but it will make a difference immediately.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of Vaeseline Intensive Care...the one in the white container...and I am religious about putting moisturizer on each and every time I wash my hands. I don't like anything too greasy, so this is perfect for me.
ReplyDeleteI have recently found Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme. Not too expensive and smells great. Much more moisturizing than lotion and smells better than vaseline. HTH
ReplyDeleteMary Kay has a hand set that people swear (not literally!) by. :)
ReplyDeleteI just mentioned this product in a blog a few weeks ago -Vaseline Sheer Infusion Lotion. LOVE IT ! I have tried almost everything on my hands and this is the only thing I really like. Good Luck,

In drastic times, I use the Neutrogena Norwegian Fisherman's Formula. Everyday, I use a small drop of olive oil, which works really well. I keep a small tube of L'Occitane hand cream in my bag.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take much of a drop in temps here in the desert for my hands to get super dry. A dermotogist suggested I use Neutrogena Hand Cream (Norwegian Formula) several times a day. It is a bit greasy at first, but absorbs very quickly. What I like is that it will last through several hand-washings before you need to reapply. It doesn't have any odor either. I use it on my feet with socks at night. I also really slather it on my hands at night just before bed. Hope you find something that works.

I've used Lubriderm for years every night and morning and it works beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI use the heavy duty hand creme from Bath and Body. Keeps these teacher's hands very moisturized!
ReplyDeleteI also use the Burt's Bees Almond Milk Hand Cream. Received it as a gift at Christmas and really like it.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Everyone has a different suggestion...Mine is Oil of Olay! I use it often....and love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the Caswell-Massey Alomond & Aloe Hand and body emulsion with silk. The scent disappears so it won't bother your perfume. I have never found anything to leave my hands so soft. I have sensitive skin and I have not had any problems with it.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem. My hands are awful right now. Looks like you have some great suggestions.
ReplyDeleteI actually use a face cream on my hands! It has helped to fade the "age" spots! I use Avon's Anew Ultimate Night Age Repair Cream.
ReplyDeleteI love using Almond Oil @ night. It's a little greasy, but really works wonders. Don't forget to exfoliate :) Sincerely, Cindy Eckhart
