The best lotions have urea in them, but it is hard to find. Gold BOnd lotion is one that has it that is readily available. Another good one is Palmer's cocoa butter cream (not the pure butter in stick form or the diluted lotion with a pump; get the kind in the tub).
I have really dry skin in winter and find that nothing beats olive oil. When your hands are still moist from washing rub the oil on and let it sit. You can do this at the end of the day when the kids are asleep; it isn't easy to do when things are hectic.Good hand cream for extemely dry hands?
Neutrogena Hand Cream. It comes in a small tube and just a dab will heal your dry skin.
I use the shea butter that comes in a jar by Tree Hut.
use Vasoline.
ummm... maybe you should get St. Ives I think thats how you spell it it's really good, or get some Ulta hand cream
aveeno really helps dry skin
Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream is pretty good. It stays through a couple of hand washings and is not that expensive.
Aveeno is very good. You can also get Aveeno powder for the bath. Works on whole body but turns water a muddy brown. Recommended for children if they get eczema. Stops itch and sooth dry skin.
Some people buy cotton gloves at the drug store. Put on hand cream and than wear gloves to bed. Might help. Good luck.
i know it sounds gross, but they make ';udder cream'; for cows. it's commonly used on people and helps for really dry skin. as much as you may hate it, using a thick lotion really helps. it lasts a lot longer than watery kinds. Avon makes another lotion that comes in a white tube-like bottle. they have little water drops on the front to show what type of skin this lotion is for. the more drops, the thicker the lotion. it works great. i have dry skin too. good luck.
Try eucerin. It's greasy but it's really good. My mom uses that for her cracked, dry hands.
eucerin
MOISTURE MITTS by Bee-Luscious!!!!!! It is exactly that! A moisturizer and it forms a protective barrier on your hands. So it does not wash off! It is oil, petroleum and alcohol free. I have never used anyhting like it before. BTW I am a nurse so I am consatntly washing my hands and this works better than anything else I have ever tried.

aveeno! Make sure you use lotion everytime you get your hands wet!!!!! Use as often as possible!
Cetaphill?
use straight vinegar and rub in it helps trust me
i just got some lotion as a gift called ';look ma new hands!'; its pricy but very good. got it at smith and hawken or something
i've found after going through several different products that cetaphil moisturizing cream works best for me...it's moisture to the extreme and definitely helps heal the dryest, most sensitive skin.
I just made some hand balm up for my lab co-workers:
1 c olive oil
1/4 c beeswax pellets
3-4 vitamin E capsules (squeezed out)
Melt together in small saucepan pour into clean plastic tub
The olive oil actually sinks into your skin to keep it moist, the beeswax helps seal it in. The vitamin E acts as a natural preservative to keep it from ';turning bad';.
You can buy beeswax pellets at ';michael's'; craft stores in the candle section.
This is a great all purpose mositurizer, hands, heels, lips... Even tames fly aways in hair.
Totally great for sensitive or chapped skin because nothing in it is irritating.
If you do buy some lotion, look for plant oils instead of mineral oil. (Mineral oil doesn't sink into skin well)
And avoid parabens, they are a preservative that irritates some people's skin.
Cornhusker's Lotion
aveeno or cocoa butter
I would say Vaseline is a great choice because it penetrates the skin and even though you wash frequently the moisture or oil from the Vaseline is not easily washed away. Also, this is easy on the babies skin as well.
victoria secrets lotion is real good i love it and i have real bad dry skin(like as in rough too) and it works real good
aveeno helps. i get real dry skin too.
Maybe Eucerin, Cocoa Butter, or Cocoa Shea Butter will help.
Aveeno
Neutrogena has a nice handcream. So does Nivea. I really like Gold Bond's lotion. But for really, really dry hands I'd go with Eucerin or even Aquaphor.
i'm not sure about cream, bur one thing u can do is put on lotion after doing such activities as washing dishes, or showering, that way ur trapping in the moisture instead of locking it out.
Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula w/ vitamin E
eucerin, my boyfriend constantly washes his hands I think he may be germaphobic. His hands would get so dry they'd crack and bleed, they're getting better now.
Mary Kay's extra emollient night creme! The best....then try their hand creme. These are part of the satin hands set.
