    Hand Moisturiser

    What hand moisturiser do you use and when do you put it on?
    I would like one that is non greasy after putting on..or really just one you recommend that works wonderfully

    My hands are very dry and I just don't treat them very well. I use rubber gloves when I do the dishes and that's about it as far as taking care of them goes.

    Thanks

    I love Lily loves Pearl - buy it online. I'm currently using the Miessence hand cream which is nice but you dont get much for the $. I use chemical free products.

    I use about a teaspoon or 2 in volume. Put on the back of my hands, rub the backs together then rub the palms together. Don't forget to moisturise the backs of your hands -those bits look older faster.

    I love the hemp hand cream from the body shop. It's really thick which I like, but I know not everyone is into that. I have really dry skin too and my hands really feel nice and soft after using this. I don't THINK it feels greasy, but I haven't used any other hand cream in years so dont have anything to compare it too. Hope you find something you like

    At work, sweet almond oil with a bit of wheatgerm mixed in.

    At home, I've usually got some organic moroccan oil hanging around.

    My hands don't like me after this last week, poor things getting shoved into floors at 6am yoga classes!

    My hands are sooooo bad from work. They are dry and cracked, it's awful. I use a cream called Tough Hands. It was actually in the mens section in priceline
    It works great though.

    I have a large pump bottle of dermaveen in the kitchen that I use throughout the day. If mine get really bad I find exfoliating them works well then moisturise

    I have an Aesop one. It sinks in straight away and smells divine. Huge tube too, so lasts for ages.

    The Neutrogena swiss formula is good for intensive repair.

    a girl at work has a body shop smelly lotion one, and I'm thinking of getting one (a different scent though, of course...)

    I need a new signature scent, as I can't get my fave one anymore and it's almost empty ...

    Do you have a hand exfoliator cream or any old exfoliator lotion?

    I use the hemp hand cream from the body shop...non greasy, it's thick but absorbs nicely. I use it whenever I've had my hands in water and before I go to bed at night, I put it on my feet too with some cotton socks.

    I had had enough of dry skin this winter, so I went into the body shop and got the Hemp hand cream, hemp feet cream and hemp lip balm. its fantastic highly recommend it (except for the smell)...
