Help for Dry Hands.

One thing that I constantly battle over the dry, harsh New England winter is suffering with very dry hands. Sometimes they are just dry, sometimes they are cracked, rough, and sometimes little cracks even bleed from being so dry. My dry hands are definitely a problem.
I am trying a slew of hand creams, from luxury brands where a tube of hand cream will cost a hefty $100 to the drugstore store brands that are sometimes equally as good, and cost less than $10!
Stay tuned over the next few weeks as I bring you the information on these various hand creams that are helping my hands this season.
If you have a hand cream that you swear by, please let me know so I can add it to my list of creams to review.
My favorite is Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream. I love it, and it’s cheap! It’s the only thing I need to use to cure my dry hands!
I just wrote about my 5 favorite products. Watkins shea butter hand creme is a great inexpensive one. My fave fave is the whipped shea butter from MadCitySue on etsy. You may have to do a custom order, because I don’t see it in her shop. I think it is just the base for her sugar scrubs before she puts in the sugar. Oh, also One Minute Miracle is a great scrub that also has tons of moisturizing oils that stay behind and make your hands like buttah. I can’t wait to see what your faves are!
I love Aquaphor, which is a kind of fancier Vaseline to put on at night with cotton gloves. Also like Vaseline Creamy Formula and Watkins Salve (Red Clover is my favorite scent!) but these are so greasy they can only be used with the gloves.
I am an Aquaphor believer too, it’s what I go to when my hand are super-duper bad, which happens more often than not these days.
Jeni - I need to try that from Neutrogena. I think I used it years ago.
Amy - I will be checking out your picks too.
