Dry,chapped ,red, sore hands !

[beams]

Can anyone recommend a good inexpensive hand cream – have tried so many but nothing does the job. I need a rich nurishing cream that moisturises and protects – hands are constantly getting washed – sounds like i have ocd but havin two small ones i seem to have my hands in water constantly – and I HATE rubber gloves – have to wash my hands after wearing them !!

I’m an excema girl, as is my daughter….
Find four things that work pretty well for us…. in no particular order….

E45 cream
Neutrogena
and there is a Aloe Vera (forever Living) product that helps too….
and of course if you can get a hold of Burts Bees hand cream…. you can’t go far wrong 😉

Burts Bees Milk & Honey lotion is wonderful, keeps hands moisturised for ages and smells divine too. You can get this in some health shops, a few pharmacies or on the site here through mammamia.ie

Aloe Vera Fruit of the Earth is good too, available in some local chemists.

We will be giving out samples of the Aloe Vera cream tomorrow at the Marshes Bagel Bar Dundalk get together tomorrow morning 10am, if you want to come along – or I can keep you some if you like?

O Sabbi would you keep me a sample and i’ll get it off you on Friday night at the BIG NIGHT OUT! Something that doesnt wash off is really what i need – before my hands drop off !!! 😯 Thanks for your suggestions 😀

Beams if you go to the chemist and get cotton gloves… put any cream on your hands at night i use silcocks base then pop the glove on and sleep with the gloves on…. the hands will soften up.
i have the same problem think i’ve ocd too…. hands chapped and dry i use Aldi one with is great only 2 euro and i use Atrxio which is lovely and oily …. but hands still in bits..
You should treat yourself to a parafin hand dip….. bliss and hands like new

Thanks Chewieodie – have used neutrogena but not mad about the smell – also have E45 and Silcox base here and same problem . Will look at the mamamia website at the burts bees – i love their products for babies – thanks 😀

Yeah Taylor ive heard that tip about the cotton gloves alright and i think i will have to try something at this stage – so sore around the knuckles at the mo. Then i need something each time i wash my hands – I know glycerine in hand creams is really good and softening so trying to look for hand cream containing that – not easy !! I had that parafin dip done before my wedding – o wow – gorgeous soft hands – it was lovely. Maybe its the soap that drying them out too
Sabbi tried mamamia and they only have 8 products displayed -the milk and honey lotion not displayed . Might get it downtown though as you say.

Try the glove i use them when my hands get bad should use them all the time but i dont 🙄
Why not get a emusifying ointment cheap as chips and will do the trick after the hand washing

[beams]

Will defo try gloves – i dont like the smell of any of those emulsifying ointments – plus they are greasy – yukkky !! 🙄 🙄

[Taylor5]

But they are brilliant to use at nightime under the glove…iykwim

just had a look the cheap hand cream Atrixo has glycerine in it. Think i got in tesco for a few euro

[beams]

okie dok gona give it a try so – off out to the chemist for my gloves 😉

[Taylor5]

id say Bradleys are your best bet they are great for stuff like that… i have a pair but i got them in work in Stacks in Bettystown

[beams]

When i get me act together here will put the two into the buggy and off to Healys our local in Rathmullen -they are quite good too – need something defo – if i was feelin energetic would walk to tesco for the atrixo too 😯

[Taylor5]

im sure you will get it in the chemist or the centra….. the gloves are brilliant just lets the cream soak into the skin

[beams]

Got the gloves 😀 Walked up to lidl and got their brand of hand cream Issey – it has glycerine in it too and put it on straight away – lovely smell and softened hands right away – heres hopin all this care and attention works 😀
