Re: Best hand cream for working hands?

L'Occitane, wife gets it off QVC, it is excellant, little bit will do you. It has Shea butter, Honey, Almond Extract and Coconut oil. It is good stuff. Things I have read on skin care say these ingredients are excellent for the skin. I started looking for something right after I had to do a chemical skin peel on my face and head to get rid of what the Dermatologist called precancer cells.

I vote with Bob_VT and sasto, Udderly Smooth original is the best I have used. Its not greasy when you put it on and brings immediate relief. I used to use vaseline intensive care but this works much better for me.

The Bag Balm stuff is awesome. Just keep your hands out of your pants when applying in public...:D

I have used bag balm and it works well, but the smell can be overwelming. I now use the generic version of Eucerin available at Wallyworld. It works great, and will not dilute your manly smell.

Re: Best hand cream for working hands?

I have the same problem Dry cracked bleeding hands. I tried everything to no avail. My Dr recommended a "Homedics Wax Spa" Believe me it works. Follow directions. My Spa is about five years old and starting to Burn/Wear out. A friend recommends and swears by Zim's Crack Cream. Here's the cheapest place I found to buy it. I haven't used it because I'm still using my Wax Spa. By the way the Spa works on dry cracked Heels to. If you buy the Spa.USE THE PLASTC BAGS That traps the heat and makes the treatment much more effective. Just one treatment and you won't believe the difference. Of course it takes several treatments to heal the skin but trust me again. It works. I do both hands at the same time and try to do about three treatments a day. After three days cracks are gone and hands are healed. You can buy the Spa at Walmart's, Walgreens or probably any major drug store. Just Google in Homemedics.

Another one that is used around here is Zambuk. My wife says it will cure any thing to do with your skin.

I'll be another one to vote on Zims Crack Cream. Next to that is Cornhuskers and then various forms of udder cream.
