Hand lotion--good ones and bad ones

I love to use body butter fr my hands.. I love its effect, it makes my hands look younger and softer.. My favorites are dove body butter and bodyshop's. Love the smell too.. =)

I like body-cology. It's kinda new but the scents aren't overwhelming as I have allergies too. I find the fresh water (wahtever it's called) one to be my favorite.

i HAVE USED SO MANY BUT FIND THAT CUREL WORKS REALLY GOOD FOR ME. i HAVE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE W/DRY SKIN ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS STILL WORKING & HAD MY HANDS IN SO MUCH WATER & CHEMICALS. i WAS A HAIRDRESSER.

I like avon as well their hand creams work really well ,Atrixo is also another good one.My mum used to use nivea but I found that to greasy.

Avon skin so soft original works well for dry skin but doesn't leave your skin as soft as Avon skin so soft soft and sensual. There are a couple lotions I will use from the Dollar tree if I run out of Avon. LOL

i have chemical sensitivity to scents and this triggers my migraines that lasts for two days even with prescription and staying away from the trigger scent. that is why i never venture anymore from my extra virgin olive oil for the hands and body. it could have been the coconut oil that my country produces so much of but it is in the medium comedogenic chart and olive oil belongs to the lowest possibility of it clogging pores so....

Hi, snowcat. I feel that Vaseline Intensive Care works well for dry skin especially during the winter time. They also have the formula for extra dry skin, you may need to buy this one since you are dealing with extreme dry skin. Another brand would be Eucerin. This works for extremely dry skin too. I hope that you can find what works for you. You can also try Jergen's Ultra Healing Lotion. And Cooca Butter is another lotion that aids in curing dry skin. Curel is another brand too.

I am not a lotion person but I like the lotions that contain cocoa butter and aloe vera.I have a different experience from you when it comes to cocoa butter because I find it very thick but scented and works well for me.Most of the others though are too thin and tend to dry out my skin.I agree with you that cocoa butter's scent is manageable though .Aloe is a nice one to use ,moisturizes well and can have a nice enough scent

I have very dry skin especially in the winter. I have tried several lotions. There is this one called ecotorin don't know if I speeled that right but it starts with an E. It seems to work very well. It doesn't really have any scent to it. And it is not greasy at all. Another one is Cocoa Butter Lotion. hat works well for me too but I would prfer the other one I mentioned and Nivea works very well! Hope I was able to help. Have a good day and happy mt lotting.

I use petroleum jelly on my hands and feet sometimes at night. During the day I use equate dry skin cream with added moisturizers on my hands it works well for me.

Hi, Snowcat! I have dry hands as well. I think the one works for me is Johnson's Baby Milk Lotion. It has Vitamin A plus E, so, it really works wonder on my skin. I used Nivea before and it actually worked well too, but I just wanted to try some other products and now I stick to Johnson's. I don't like cocoa butter because it's greasy.

Hi snowcat, I also have dry hands, maybe because I tend to wash my hands often. Aside from that, the water we use for washing may have very strong chemicals like chlorine. I also noticed when I use hot water for washing hands it tends to dry my skin. I have tried a lot of moisturizing lotion for the hands. There are several kinds available on the market. I have tried the organic ones...those products are usually made from bees' wax, cocoa butter, olive oils which did not stay true to their promise. I also have tried the victoria's secret lotions. They smell soo good but they are quity oily and sometimes sticky so as I apply it, I have to air it dry first before using the computer because they could leave marks in my mouse and mouse pad. THe best product for dry skin is Vaseline intense moisture formula lotion. Have you tried it? it is very effective on my hands. Good thing with this product is non-greasy, and once you applied it, it dries very fast. You don't need to air dry your hands once you applied it. And most of all, it has a very mild scent, and it definitely smoothens skin and it evens out rough edges of dried skin. You don't have to wait for days and weeks in ordor to see and feel the results of this lotion. All you need to wait for it to work is minutes. Hope you could try it too snowcat. Nice topic you started here. Happy mylotting.

I don't have dry skin, but i do have an issue with my hands and feet, i can only use one kind of dish liquid, and i can't use different household cleaners, or it sets off my hands to the extent where there are red blotches under the skin, but nothing on top, my skin would still be smooth, so no rash or anything, only hot. So when it comes to hand creams i have to be careful as well, some hand creams sets it off as well, so i stick to a scatter couple, one being vaseline hand cream, i find them really good, and my boyfriend uses it everyday as well.

try this : mix i tsp. of brown sugar and 1tbsp sunflower or canola oil, add a few drops of lavender oil.wash your hands first,while your hand is still wet, apply this scrub mixture, lightly massage for at least 5 minutes, then rinse,pat dry with towel(dont use machine hand dryer, it will only aggravate the skin condition) and apply johnsons baby lotion.you may scrub 3x a week ,but moisturize daily, or even after washing hands.hope this help..

I agree with hapsicordable,vaseline will be good for ur hands

Amway products are the high quality ones but it's quite expensive. If you're doing amway business or being member then it's good for you since the lotion really works the best for your skin. I use jergens. It really good but it's quite dry slowly compared with botanica face and body lotion. Difference skins differences wants and cares.
