Cracking bleeding hand skin

[VeloVT]

Best hand cream ever... L'Occitane Shea Hand Cream. Very moisturizing, and not greasy. My boyfriend gets dry skin on his thumbs so badly in the winter that, without this hand cream, he ends up putting A&D ointment on them and covering them with band aids for weeks at a time - this hand cream, but not others, prevents that. He can also use it during the day without feeling that it make his hands too greasy to use the computer.

It also smells lovely - he is comfortable wearing it because the scent is not excessively feminine, but I love using it too (and smelling it on him). I think it smells like expensive French baby powder, in the best possible way.

My mom & daughter & I all have that same problem. We swear by Eucerin. (Ok not really. We swear around lots of things. Rarely do we swear nearby the hand cream.)

Not the lotion in a tube, the cream in the jar.

My daughter suffers from Eczema and dry skin year round but it gets worse during winter. Every night after I bathed her, I lather her body with Vanicream (local Walgreens) and then I put her onesies. Its like wearing a huge glove all over her body and it works wonders on her skin!! I swear by this cream since I really hate to use steroid prescribed creams on her body. I use it as well for my super dry and cracked hands in addition to the L'Occitane Ultra rich body cream which is rich in Shea butter. The cracked hands is for using dish detergents, heat and sanitizers, sigh...

Pure extra-virgin coconut oil will do wonders for dry skin. It's a solid at room temp, melts in your hand and absorbs very quickly. Almost all grocery stores carry it these days - it's yummy in baked goods instead of butter.

To help heal the cracks add a drop of Frankincense or Geranium Essential oil to whatever you use 2-3 times per day. PM me if you'd like info on reputable brands of essential oils that do actually work - not just smell nice.
