| I don't know about the rest of you but after three days of working and having to wash my hands repeatedly with the coarse soap or use that horrid Purell, my hands are an absolute mess. I have tried so many different remedies I can't remember them all. Clinique's Water Therapy Hand Lotion is pretty good but the other day I bought a product called "Gloves in a Bottle" and can't get over how well it works even after only one application. It is unscented and non-greasy and repairs even damaged skin in no time at all. I love it! I bought it at my local CVS for $12.99 for 8 oz and will never use another product again so long as it's on the market. Hoping this will help others with chafed, damaged skin on their hands. |

| Thanks for that post. I have always had rough dry hands and we use to have gladhands at the hospital. I notice too that railways stations have rubbish as handwash. Last time I travelled I had washed my hands and put more on the right hand than the left. when I looked down sometime later the skin was actually flaking off. I'll be looking for that product. My daughter actually gave me some nutrogena which was good but I'm all out of it. |

| Re: Excellent product for dry hands I use petrolleum jelly before I go to bed...apply a generous amount and rub it into the skin, then put on those pharmacy cloth gloves and sleep with them on. It helped me a lot through all my clinicals and it is the cheapest thing ever! |

| I bought a few trial size lotions trying to find one to help my hands. The other day I grabbed one and put it on and the scent made me stop using it. Ironically there is nothing wrong with the scent. The problem is I have a resident in my nursing home who likes to have this same lotion applied to his legs and feet and every time I tried to use this lotion on my own hands it would make me think of his feet and work. I bring home enough stress and worries from work, I don't need anything else to remind myself of work during the few hours I'm at home!!! Ha ha ha... ![]() |

| Re: Excellent product for dry hands Thanks for the recommendation. With working and having my own new baby I am constantly washing my hands. They are so dry and cracked and I need something. I lotion constantly and I haven't found anything that works really well. I'm going to give this a try.

| Re: Excellent product for dry hands I LOVE aveeno...i use it all over. it works really well if you have allergy hives or other allergic reactions. Aveeno also have the menthol lotion which is sooo relaxing. It puts me to sleep everytime. I like the GOLDBOND menthol lotion too. If your ever in pain or feeling a bit worn out...get some of this!! it eases the tension. |
