ISO a super duper hand cream!

Gold Bond hand cream. When my aunt was sick with cancer, her hand just dried out terribly. This helped her greatly.

Elle · Hermes

This is my holy grail hand creme. Seriously. My cuticles are terrible all year long, and this is the only thing that keeps them in shape. It's a little expensive, but a tub lasts me 8 or 9 months of twice-daily application.

I like Keihls, Jaqua, and Burts Bees cuticle cream

wicked · Coach

I like Kiss My Face Honey and Calendula

For a huge splurge I recommend Fresh Sugar Blossom hand treatment, though I only ever get the smallest tube of it.
What I use daily now is called CDN Spamanicure Almond Hydrating Lotion. One of my girlfriends is a licensed beautician and is therefore able to order me the 8 oz bottle for 25% of cost. It's fabulous.

Splurge- Caudalie Hsnd and Nail Cream. It feels really light and doesn't leave any residue but is really moisturizing.

Budget Friendly- Olay Hand Cream, this has a nice light smell and is one of the best hand moisturizers as far as staying power.

I love L'Occitaine's shea butter hand lotion.

My brother used to have this problem (but he doesn't anymore? I don't know why?) and he used something called Corn Huskers Lotion from Walgreens. It's pretty messy but he would put it on before bed and then put on gloves to protect his sheets while it sunk it over the night.

When skin is so dry that it cracks, I use a multi-step plan of attack. I moisturize with a dab of Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Creme (do yourself a huge favor, and get the unscented).

Over top of that glycerine-based moisturizer, I protect with something extremely emollient. Anything from Vaseline, to shea butter, to sweet almond oil, to some sort of body butter.

When my skin is at least healed, I try to exfoliate with AHA body cream (if it is too stingy, I'll put it on and rinse it off after a minute or so). If I use the AHA cream, I follow up with the Neutrogena (or Alba Very Emollient Lotion) and protecting layer mentioned above.
