What is a good lotion for chapped hands ?

PALMERS!What is a good lotion for chapped hands ?
Don't laugh, this is serious. Go to a farm supply store and ask for bag balm. Its stated purpose is for use on cow udders to prevent drying and chapping in cold weather, but farmers have sworn by it for ages for their own use.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag_BalmWhat is a good lotion for chapped hands ?
Neutrogena Hand Lotion - tube looks small but it only takes a small amount and it goes a long way , comes mildly scented or unscented
curtisports2 is right, or working hands.


Iv'e noticed that skin color has alot to do with the lotion you should use. Im white, and my friend is black, and some lotions don't work on her dry skin. So we both tried working hands and our hands feel like baby butts!





She stared using bag balm on her face and, its perfectly soft. I shall try too!
My hands get horribly chapped in the winter and I tried a great variety of lotions to find that Eucerin is the only thing that works for me. It may be a bit expensive but it works very well and lasts a long time. I've also found that the more I use those frangrant lotions from Bath %26amp; Body Works for example, the worse my hands will get. If these tips don't help you should go see your doctor and ask what to use. I really hate having chapped hands so I wish you the best of luck through these cold months ahead. Thank you.
AVEENO!!!! it works!!!!!





hope it hellpss!!!!!!!!!! =]]]
Evelyn and Crabtree (sp?) It's really good! They have them in the hilton hotel so you know it's good it's a 5 star hotel! It's really good but kidn pricey but sometimes they have sales so you have 2 lotion for $20 and the lotions are big and you don't need a lot. A little dab and your good to go.
aveeno.
Keri has a lotion just for that.
Lubriderm works really well and is inespensive. You get a giant bottle at wal-mart or target for like $5/$6. Get the one with sea kelp extract. It works by training your skin to take in moisture form the outside and adds moisture to your skin so its a long-term effect and it works!
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream. It is very thick kind of like vaseline. It will heal your chapped hands immediately and keep them moist (without being oily) for a looooong time. They are also very neutral without alot of chemicals so it works well for sensitive hands too. Like if your hands are cracked, applying the cream won't sting. It's affordable and you can get it at any drug store.
eucerin or vasaline . eucerin helps heal with moisture that fills cracks( unseen to naked eye) and helps roughness.


Vasaline provides a water tight barrier. Good for lite application on lips, heels( be careful not to put on feet- it can cause you to slip) over cuts or lite burns.


Think diaper rash and what it does for babies bottoms


However, it is best used sparingly and infrequently. Only to spot treat and not for every day or prolonged use
I like the Vaseline Intensive care.. there's also a really great product called Rex eme, their website is rexeme.com. I have eczema and use it for that, but it works for anything to do with dry skin. They have really small jars if you want to try it out.





Good luck!
