I wash my hands a lot...Lotions?

I'm kind of a 'germ a phob', So I wash my hands a lot, %26amp; they're all dry and they hurt and they're red, so I was wondering if there are any lotions that can help heal them..I wash my hands a lot...Lotions?
i've tried al ot of lotions, aveeno daily mosturizing lotion is the best in my opinion. it locks in moisture for 24 hours..although a lot of lotions say they do, you can honestly feel this one doing it. i put it on before bed and my hands are silky smooth all the next day and i can still feel the moisture. plus it can go anywhere..hands, body, face, whatever. hope this helpsI wash my hands a lot...Lotions?
ok i am kinda the smae my hands get SOOOOOOOOO RED and DRY and FLAKEY!!!!!!!!! but its cuz of the cold weather where i live!!! so i have tried almost every kind of lotion possible!!! and the best is the body butters u get at body shop!!!! go and get the mango kind its specially designed for VERY dry skin!! and i know its called body butter and not hand lotion but still it works!!!!!
Olay Quench! This lotion is amazing. I use it every day after my shower and I never have to re-apply. With other lotions, I used to have to put lotion on every time I washed my hands, but since I started using Quench, I don't have to.
olay quench.

Gold Bond Lotion with Chamomile is the best that I found. I have problems with dry skin. The chamomile doesn't have fragrance either, so it doesn't sting or burn.
same here. my hands are so dry eucerin lotion stings my hands.Try Aveeno.
Your so stupid, use lotion

  • My hands sorely need a moisturizing cream but all I have are lotions. What should I do?

    The absolute Number One BEST Hand Cream in the world is L'Occitane Hand Cream with 20% Shea Butter. It's pricey, but worth every penny. I full-size tube will last about 5-6 months. It's super rich but doesn't stay greasy and you don't need to keep putting more on after washing your hands. It will even repair the little cracks around your nails- AMAZING! I live in Canada and our skin gets seriously dry- it's the only one that works.My hands sorely need a moisturizing cream but all I have are lotions. What should I do?
    I use olankas moisturizing cream (it's new) but it is not greasy and it has no alcohol so it will not dry skin one application in the morning will do the job. google Olankas moisturizing cream and read all about it it's all natural and it last because you use very little. Report Abuse
    My hands sorely need a moisturizing cream but all I have are lotions. What should I do?
    use glycerin. it's cheap and effective, because the glycerin is regarded as a traditional moistralizer.
    Buy something with a lot of shea butter in it.
    Vasoline


    yucky but works!
    Pure coconut oil, usually available in East Asian ethnic grocery stores is best. Cover with gloves and leave for at least 1-2 hours (best at night)
    Vasoline works, but you'll need to use it at night and sleep with gloves on. Try Curel Ultra Healing Lotion, I think it works the best and it absorbs pretty well. Lotions and creams are really the same thing, just try to stay away from heavy frangrances and look for the word ';healing'; on the package.
    you need Shea Butter my dear, cooling and sooooothing!
    What I heard that works as an intensive treatment is making ';vaseline gloves.'; It's where one puts vaseline into a laytex glove(the kind DR use), and wares them for an hour or so to moisturize one's hands or one can ware them while one sleeps, but do be careful the oils in vaseline can cause the gloves to ';break down'; after a few uses. Also instead of vaseline one can use ';cream lotion'; of some sort the main thing is to get your hand to absorb the moisturizer.

    I have dry hands and I find that lotions do not help much....?

    Alright, so I've got dry hands especially where my palms are and I'm quite embarrassed about it (I'm a guy). I hesitate on holding peoples hands, especially on dates, my hands feel rough most of the time. I put lotion on it but it feels like it only glazes my hands, not go into my skin.





    Help?I have dry hands and I find that lotions do not help much....?
    You can try this use aloe vera gel after bathing on the dry areas.There are many helpful tips to cure dry skin at http://useinfo-dryskin.blogspot.com/I have dry hands and I find that lotions do not help much....?
    Eucerine cream, thick at night with gloves works wonders for me, during the winter i mix it with hydrocortisone cream and it helps...my hands always get worse during the winter. Vaseline has never helped me, it might for you. Also put lotion on as soon as you get out of the shower or the bath while your pores are open, it soaks in better!
    You may have a condition called exzema, it responds fairly well to hydrocortisone cream 1% topical solution if this fails it is possible that you could have psoriasis or contact dermatitis and in that case you may need a prescription from your G.P ( general practioner
    Try Cornhuskers. You can buy it at most drug stores and Walmart.
    I tend to have really dry skin also, and I just use St. Ives Collagen Elastin lotion and it works great. I also have sensitive skin and this lotion doesn't bother it at all and it is fragrant free.
    some people get excellent results from putting vaseline on their hands at bedtime and then wearing cotton gloves over their hands. Within days, they hands are soft and all cracks are gone. Might be worth a try.
    I highly recommend that you purchase a jar of Eucerin or Cetaphyl cream and massage this into your hands.. it works wonders on dry hands.. :)
    Sugar Scrub


    Just put sugar on your hand , scrub with water , then Rinse .. Volia ~~ It works like magic / also try not to use things LIKE DISHWASHING LIQIUD( caps sorry ) and yeah
    Try nivea hand lotion...that should work

    Severly dried & cracked hands,no lotions have helped,they hurt so bad..heeeeelp?

    i work w/ a woman which is in her mid 50's ,type 2 diabetes,and in the last 10 yrs has gone through chemo therapy... her hands are so severly dried out and cracked open,we work in food and the gloves which we have to wear she has to wear a cloth glove and apply alot of lotion to keep her hands hydratedso it doesnt hurt so bad,shes gone to 2 different skin doctors and neither has done anything b/c they're so bad...she never had this problem til taking chemo,which she isnt on anymore,but it all started with it as she says...i feel so sorry for her bc of all of this which ive had exzema on my feet and i know skin problems hurt really bad,if anyone could help id really appricate it ,thank youSeverly dried %26amp; cracked hands,no lotions have helped,they hurt so bad..heeeeelp?
    VO 5 hair ointment works wellSeverly dried %26amp; cracked hands,no lotions have helped,they hurt so bad..heeeeelp?
    try ';bag balm'; it is in a green square metal canister and you can get it at farming type stores. it smells, but it works. It started out as a cream that farmers put on cow's udders to keep them from chapping. they discovered that thier hands started healing up too.
    Drink plenty of water and I like a product called ';Bag Balm'; I love that stuff. Put it on your hand before bed and put cotton gloves on, its wonderful. I put the balm on my heels when my heels were cracked. I big container is only about 5 bucks...it would be worth a try. You could also have her try Corn Huskers Lotion, its sorta like bag balm but more like a liquid.
    Bag Balm is what they used in the hospital when my son was so sick. Yes, humans use it for dry skin, cracked hands and feet. It is cheap too.





    see the link below
    try vicks vapo rub at night with cotton gloves.it takes awhile but it sure helped my feet
    clean your hands with an oil-free skin cleanser such as Cetaphil or SFC Lotion





    To smooth and soothe irritated hands, mix a few drops of glycerin with a few drops of lemon oil [both are available at pharmacies]. Massage this into your hands at bedtime





    To remove the top layer of dead skin cells from chapped hands, Schorr recommends a weekly sloughing treatment. ';Process 1 cup of uncooked, old-fashioned (not instant) rolled oats in a blender until you have a very find powder. Place it in a large bowl, then rub your hands in the powder, gently removing dry skin. Rinse with cool water, pat dry, and lavish on hand cream. Wait 2 minutes and apply more cream.';

    I have alway had dry hands, even growing up. I always use moisturiser/lotions etc.?

    I always wonder if this is some kind of deficiency from birth or its just my skin type. I used to avoid holding hands, especially with men, I tend to give them the tip of my hands if I have shake hands! I'm not fixated or anything, just curious - maybe someone has an answer!I have alway had dry hands, even growing up. I always use moisturiser/lotions etc.?
    You might have excema... thatz what I have.


    As soon as you get out of the shower, or wash your hands, you shud put a thin coat of vaseline on, you'll see that you won't have flaky hands ne more.





    Also, some causes of dry skin are...





    The oil glands do not supply enough lubrication to the skin. As a result, the skin becomes dehydrated.





    Skin gets exposed to the elements especially in winter.





    Dry skin could be due to a genetic condition.





    Poor diet. Nutritional deficiencies, especially deficiencies of vitamin A and the B vitamins, can also contribute to dry skin.





    Environmental factors such as exposure to sun, wind, cold, chemicals, or cosmetics, or excessive bathing with harsh soaps.





    Conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, or seborrhea.





    Also, you should see a darmatologist, because it might be a disease.I have alway had dry hands, even growing up. I always use moisturiser/lotions etc.?
    HEY! I know how you feel. I get extremely dry hands (mainly from washing them too much), and the best thing for me is Aveeno unscented hand lotion ;-) I keep a bottle at home, and a travel bottle in my purse. Kiehls hand cream works very well too, and it's unscented and won't dry out your hands.


    My boyfriend got me the spa gloves from Bath %26amp; body works, and I use them for 30 minutes when my hands get severely dry, and it works WONDERS!
    I had the same problem when I was younger. I suggest you drink more water, and take fish oil tablets.
    Get Hemp Hand Protection, from The Body Shop, works wonders!
    Dry skin is usually a deficiency in diet. If you eat a lot of salads and light food, try eating more breads, and balanced whole foods. Moisturizer, over time, makes it worse. You're skin will stop secreting the natural oils since it is now over taken by the moisturizer.
    I have this problem too. You have apply moisturizer several times during the day. Use rubber gloves for dishwashing, housecleaning, and any other situation where your hands will be in hot water and/or soap, such as washing the car. Apply skin moisturizer at night before going to bed. I heard you should apply lots of lotion, then wear cotton gloves to bed but that doesn't sound comfortable to me.





    I do notice the difference when I user moisturizer frequently and rubber gloves for all washing chores.
    Drink lots of water everyday!!
    try aquaphor ointment----put it on at night and wear gloves or socks over your hands for the night. Have you considered eczema or an allergy?

    I have very dry, dry, dry hands. Any lotions/remedies that actually works?

    My hands are really dry. They are chapped and cracking...and even to the point where it bleeds. Please help.I have very dry, dry, dry hands. Any lotions/remedies that actually works?
    EucerinI have very dry, dry, dry hands. Any lotions/remedies that actually works?
    Olay quench works very good
    mine were like that, now they are wayyy soft, but put some UNSCENTED lotion on them every night, scented lotion will hurt. thats wat i did now they are soft,, it works.
    gob a whole bunch of vaseline on your hands and then put socks over them do that for about 3 days and you will no longer have this problems. Do it at night when your sleeping.





    Another good hand creme is Eucerin calming creme
    buy yourself some cheap surgical type gloves. Slather your hands with plain vaseline and slip the gloves on before you go to bed. Do this every night until your hands soften again.


    then all you have to do after that is use a light coat of vaseline before you go to bed.


    It washes off with regular soap


    During the day - use a good quality hand cream whenever you think of it and definitely every time after you wash your hands.
    First, go to a well stocked drug store chain and purchase Bag Balm (commonly used for chapped cracked cow's teats-hey whatever works right?), ALSO, in the drug store, they should have COTTON gloves (not latex, not rubber--COTTON). At bedtime, fill your sink or a large bowl with olive oil and water. Soak your hands for few minutes, blot dry gently. Then, smather your hands with the Bag Balm, put the gloves on, hop in bed, go to sleep. Do that for about a week and you should see a vast improvement. Hope it helps.

    dead sea salt and oil scrub. it will work wonders for your hands. use a thick lotion or body butter. something that has coco butter and shea butter.
    Try something called ';Surgeon's Secret';. The only place I know of to get it is on QVC. It's different than other things %26amp; it really works. It has, among other things, bees wax in it %26amp; it stays on your hands %26amp; protects them from water %26amp; whatever else. My hands were like yours, from very hard water. They were so dry they were cracking %26amp; bleeding %26amp; it stung %26amp; hurt really bad. Nothing else I tried seemed to really help much. If you call QVC, you can tell them the name of the product %26amp; they will look it up %26amp; you can order it %26amp; have it in a few days. I hope this helps. Good Luck!!!
    Make lotion your favorite potion. Every time you wash your hands, put on a little moisturizer afterward, says Dr. Glaser. With every washing, you’re removing moisture-encasing oils from your hands as well as dirt and grime. By applying a hand lotion, you replenish those lost oils and keep your skin from drying out. “Find a hand lotion that you like and keep it near your sink and in your purse or desk, so that you can apply it to your hands after each time you wash them,” says Dr. Glaser.





    Over-the-counter lotions do just fine, says Stephen Schleicher, M.D., co-director of the Dermatology Center in Philadelphia. He recommends any of the following for his patients: Alpha Keri, Aquaderm, Aquaphor, Complex 15, Curel, Cutemol, Dermasil, Derma Centre, Eucerin, Keri, Lubriderm, Oil of Olay, Pen-Kera, and UltraDerm.





    Other Wise Ways





    Soften your soaps. The harsher the soap, the more oils and moisture you’ll strip from your hands. Dr. Glaser suggests that you wash your hands with a gentle hand cleanser such as Dove or Oil of Olay. These soaps contain emollients, which are agents that soften or smooth the skin.





    Oil ’em up. To buy a simple hand cream at the cosmetics department of your local department store, you might have to pay a small fortune. But just stroll down the vegetable oil aisle in the supermarket to find a hand moisturizer that’s just as good and a lot less expensive. Regular vegetable shortening like Crisco soothes cracked, dry hands, Dr. Glaser says. To get the most out of the oil, rub it over your hands at night before you go to bed. Then put on a pair of old gloves. Not only will the gloves save you from ruining your linens but also they will force the oil to penetrate your skin, she says.





    Wear washup gloves, too. You often put your hands into terrible conditions: hot water, bathroom cleaners, ammonia, bleach. Protect them from the ravages of such harsh substances by wearing a pair of vinyl gloves with cotton liners. The vinyl outside keeps the water off your hands, while the cotton liner absorbs sweat so that your hands won’t get wet inside. Wear them whenever you wash dishes or use any other possible irritants such as chemicals and cleaning products.





    Tap into water. Drink at least eight glasses of water per day, says Dr. Glaser. Dry hands are the result of a lack of moisture in the skin, so not drinking enough water may aggravate dryness in the hands.
    I have also dry hands but your case is severe. I just use a lotion Nivea or Jergens and it works well.





    I presumed that you have see your doctors and you received already a lot of advice and medication. Your hands are very delicate and have some sort of allergy in some environment.





    Depending on your work, you can try to make use of your hands lesser if possible especially when exposing your hands to becoming wet.





    Sometimes the more that the hands are subjected to water or other liquid the more problems you get. Also try to avoid too much washing of your hands. If you use a lotion, the lotion will be removed if you frequently wash your hands. If there are nice disposable gloves available in the store, you can just adopt a style of wearing gloves every time until your hands have recovered but continue to avoid your hands from washing.





    The drying of water in your hands affect your skin unless it's lotion or oil. I read this idea somewhere.
    Eucerin cream or Curel sensitive skin formula.





    Good luck.
    If it bleeds often you should think about seeing a doctor. Try Bag Balm...originally it was used for cow's teets, its sounds weird, but try this. A little goes a long way, put it on your hands every night and put old socks on your hands, or I suppose you could use surgical gloves. If it's just your fingers and back of your hands you could use it several times a day without getting it on your palms.
    Any lotion with vitamin E should provide instant results. if it gets worse/continues I would go to the doctor because your condition sounds extreme.
    This is going to sound crazy but try coconut oil grease that is made for hair.Its sold in stores like Family Dollar.It works.
    Please don't think I am crazy, but I was in a very bad fire once. I had a lot of problems with my right hand. My Mother told me to rub Crisco vegetable shortning on my hands at night and sleep with gloves on my hand to allow the shortning to sink into my skin. It really worked.
    Ouch! No fun. I suggest Eucerin becuase it's very neutral, no heavy perfumes to irritate skin and excellent for dry cracked skin. I also use The Body Shop's Cocoa butter. It's a think creme that keeps my really dry skin moist. And smells wonderful--Hope it helps
    My mom was having the same problem and I got her someone Aveno products. Go look around at the pharmacy departments and see if there's anything that strikes your fancy. Every time your hands get wet, apply the lotion. Wear rubber gloves in you are in water and cleaners a lot, wear mittens or gloves when you go outside. Just keep slathering the lotion on them.
    SHEA BUTTER works best, especically if you put a 100% shea butter salve on at night before you go to bed.
    Ouch... My suggestion is too make sure any lotion you buy is thick, not runny. Something that has worked for our family is bag balm, it is for cows udder's, it works wonders. You won't believe the difference it makes. Put it on at night before you go to bed. My dad had hands just like yours from being outside in the elements all the time. Look on the internet for it www.originaludderbalm.com or (I know this sounds silly) ask the vet. I am totally serious.
    First put vaseline on them and put white socks or if you can find them white gloves and sleep this way for several nights. Also, make sure to dry your hands after washing, very well. Also, if you are in water a lot check the detergent, it might be too harsh, try something new. Then after washing during the day use a little olive oil to rub into your hands and this will keep them moist, soft and repel water. Olive oil is also a healing thing. It is what we use to annoint people when we pray over them, the Lord used it for many things. It lowers cholesterol, heals, makes a great night cream for the face and feet also. Good luck.
    may be you should try the nivea caring lotion i use it it is indeed of great help it leaves your skin feather soft
    I also have very dry hands. I use lotion at least 5 times a day. I also put lotion on at night not rubbing it in totally, put on some disposable rubber gloves and leave them on all night. I do this every night. Alot of hassle but it seems to help some.
    COCO BUTTER LOTION REALLY WORKS, USE IT EVERYDAY
    I would suggest going to the doctor. But if that is not a possibility an over the counter product called hydrocortisone may help. Keeping your hands protected by using gloves as much as possible and using a good hand cream (perhaps one made with goat's millk) should help.
    I have found that Vaseline lotion (not jelly) works extremely well. as my hand get dry from working with lacquer thinner, and other reducers like that, plus the harsh soaps I use to get that off. When you put the lotion on heavily, then put on either lite cotton gloves or loose plastic gloves so the stuff does not wipe off onto other surfaces(bedsheets and the like and wear them nightly. A couple days and you will see the difference.
    Try using Vaseline Petroleum Jelly, before bed. Mix your bathwater with several drops of Johnson's Baby oil. During the day make sure to use Nivea Skin Creme (the blue and white tube) or Johnson's Baby Lotion (pink bottle). Its probably due to dry cold winters or too much staying inside air conditioned rooms.
    Aquaphor Healing Ointment By Eucerin i also have horribly dry hands and this is the only things that has helped me i tried persciption creams that didnt do nothing for me but this seems to help alot i seen results within the first 48hrs if you wash your hands alot they even make a soap same brand and name check it out its worth a shot
    My daughter has psoriasis and has cracked skin sometimes. The doctor told me to put either Eucerin or Cetaphil on her hands she uses it during the day as a hand lotion. At night I apply LOTS of lotion, and put a sock on them overnight while she sleeps. It really helps heal the skin and they are both over the counter.





    good luck.
    I have this too. What I do is take plastic(Not latex!) gloves, and I first put some Cetaphil lotion on my hands, a little extra than I use, and rub it in. After that, I put on the gloves and keep them on for 20-30 minutes. And put lotion on your hands after each time you wash them
    Olay works great! Even try putting vasaline on your hands too..and leave it on over night.
    OLAY QUENCH!!!!!!!!! ITS THE BOMB BAYBEE!

    Very dry and calloused skin on my hands. I've tried many different lotions. None have worked.?

    I've even tried the gold bond healing crap and that don't work. And neither does that cow nipple stuff. Please help someone. My hands get to the point where they are so dry that they hurt.Very dry and calloused skin on my hands. I've tried many different lotions. None have worked.?
    Inner leaf gel of the Aloe Vera plant. This is in its live cell form.Very dry and calloused skin on my hands. I've tried many different lotions. None have worked.?
    you can use the fresh gel of Aloe vera twice a day ,you might get unpleasant smell but don't wash it wait tell it is absorbed by your skin,while treatment with aloe vera avoid using any perfume or alcohol based.
    Avon skin-so-soft rejuvenating peel-off hand mask. I use it 1st,then the hand cream. Use the hand cream after each time your hands have been in water(hand washing,dish washing,etc...) %26amp; at nights with gloves on at bedtime. That always works for me,but my son has very dry %26amp; cracked skin,esp in the winter %26amp; he has to get a prescription for his skin problem. Hope this helps. I really have had a lot of help from my dry hands from having them in water a lot %26amp; from just dry skin itself,%26amp; the avon hand mask really does help.
    You may have a skin condition. Go and see your doctor about it, they can prescribe an anti-fungal or something.
    Corn huskers is the best I have ever used and I use that on my heels in winter because they get so dry they crack open.
    Buy a stick of St. Helenes 100 % pure cocoa butter. It's about $2 at drugstores and is a heavy duty moisturizer.
    use johnsons body oil and cetaphil lotion or body butter
    I now use an all natural lotion through Shaklee call Enfuselle that works great. It has a triple patented vital repair complex that is second to none. If you want more info mail me back. You can also og through my website at www.shaklee.net/aj_lee


    Thanks,

    I think you should probably go to a dermatologist, but you might also want to try removing some of the dead skin and then applying a strong moisturizer or even vaseline. I have heard people use cuticle cream in areas and per the instructions on the box to remove the dead skin, then use heavy moisturizer and wear moisturizing gloves.





    Wear the gloves to bed to keep your hands super hydrated.
    Corn Huskers is good, but you could try baby oil straight at night with gloves when you go to bed. You could try sloughing off the old skin with a pumice stone (found in cosmetic aisle) and then moisturize. It is best to use the stone with water and while your skin is softer, like during a shower. Use the stone while in the shower and then you have dried off and are ready for bed, then put on your moisturizer and gloves.





    If you want to give the bag balm (cow nipple stuff) another try, then try getting a bunch out and smear it on the front and back of your hands and just watch TV and let it soak in. My dad is a mason and during the winter his hands get so dried out from the mortar they crack. This has worked for him many times.





    If that does not work, then see a dermatologist.

    How do you get rid of chapped hands from the job you do? I have tried eveyhting from different lotions to diff

    Throughout the day, apply Eucerin lotion whenever possible. At night, apply it again LIBERALLY and wear rubber gloves to bed.





    Also, increase your water intake. It really does help more than you realize.





    It'll take a few days, but you'll start to see/feel a difference.





    Good luck.How do you get rid of chapped hands from the job you do? I have tried eveyhting from different lotions to diff
    It looks like your question got chopped, so I'll send some general advice. I used to work with special education children in the classroom, and was always having to wash my hands and disinfect counters and such. Needless to say, my hands were always drying out real bad. However, I came up with a weird solution, but it worked.





    I would take some latex (or poly) gloves, squirt some heavy duty hand lotion into them, rub some lotion onto my hands, then put the gloves onto my hands and squish the lotion around. I'd leave the gloves on my hands for about 15 to 30 minutes at a time. (Best to do when watching tv or laying back on the bed, as you can't use your hands until the process is over. Also, try to do when wearing casual clothing, as sometimes the lotion will start to run out of the gloves.)





    When I took the gloves off, I'd then rub my hands until they started to dry. By that time, a lot of dead/dry skin would rub off in the process. I'd wash my hands to get rid of the old lotion and dead skin, then add some fresh lotion and rub until absorbed.





    I'd repeat this for a couple of days, and in a very short while, the areas around the cracked skin soften up and allowed the cracks/sores to heal up.





    I hope this suggestion is of some help for you. Best to probably use lotions without perfumes to keep from causing any extra irritation. If the problem persists, it might be wise to see a dermatologist to find out if there's a medical reason for the dryness of your hands.How do you get rid of chapped hands from the job you do? I have tried eveyhting from different lotions to diff
    make a mixture of 2 tablespoons nut oil


    and( one teaspoonful) fine sugar





    In a saucer


    Rub this, (gently ) into both hands leave for 5 minutes ,


    then wash off, and pat dry


    apply a good quality barrier cream


    Do this twice a day .





    Your chapped hands will heal ,


    and feel wonderfully soft


    also far less prone, to chapping in the future

    I've got another lotion for you to try: Burt's Bees Cuticle Cream. Apply it at night before going to bed. I'm linking you to their hand repair kit, which comes with the cuticle cream and some other stuff that I haven't tried.





    G'luck!

    Hand Lotion?

    My hands look terrible the past couple winters. My diet is exceptional and I drink sooo much water for hydration but no matter what lotion or balm I use nothing works for more than a couple minutes. I even try the glove at night. Has anyone found a product that prevents this and truly heals. I am 28 with hands that look 100yrs old. I even avoid hair products as I fear the alcholol and rewashing my hands again dries even further.Hand Lotion?
    Eucerin has worked for me. It has a good occlusive property. Have you tried it?Hand Lotion?
    There is a line called Kiehls. This is a line made specifically by a dermatologist. All the products are natural and can help with so many problems. There is a hand lotion from Kiehls that you can use that is made specifically for the dryest of hands. It works wonders. Its called Intensive Treatment for Dry or Callused Areas, and the other, which is the top seller, is called Ultimate Strength Hand Salve.





    Both of these work generously well! It is a bit more pricey than your drug-store lotions, but its well worth the purchase!





    You can order it online at www.kiehls.com or you can purchase it at a local Nordstrom.





    Check it out on the website if nothing else!

    you can get it online, at good retailers or at a tanning salon.


    it will go on very dark


    DONT PANIC!


    the more you rub it in the lighter it gets.


    that means you know where your applying it.


    make sure you do it in the MORNING/before you go out.

    have fun!How do i get a good tan with tanning lotions without getting yellow hands or streak marks?
    OMFFFFGG


    FREAKIN GO OUTSIDE!!!!


    would it kill you? its summer, i live in NORTH DAKOTA and its freakin hot and sunny, and guess what?!?! i'm freakin getting a tan


    i'm sure where ever you are its plenty warm so go outside, play, outside, not inside, not in a taning bed, not with lotion


    k?How do i get a good tan with tanning lotions without getting yellow hands or streak marks?
    Use the disposable plastic gloves people wear when serving food, they have a little texture to them and work great. The lady at the Clarins counter recommended them when I purchased my sunless tanner and I've been using them ever since.
    The sunless tanning guide discussed at the source below may help.
    rub it in really good and wash your hands and nails REALLLY GOOD afterwards.





    i also suggest you use jergens. it works WONDERS.
    use ruber glovesand make sure its even when you rub it in

    What are some good lotions and things that i can use to make my feet and hands softer?

    Avon Silicone Glove. I used to live in Barrow, Alaska and my hands were always cracked and bleeding. My friend gave me some avon, it works so well. I love it.What are some good lotions and things that i can use to make my feet and hands softer?
    I use Aveeno with Menthol.


    It really is pretty good, I had the same problem as you, and this helped me. You don't even have to do it everyday, you can even do it every 2 days and your skin isn't scaly! Wonderful right? I like the menthol one better because the normal one doesn't have a very pleasant smell(in my opinion), and the menthol one cools your skin down too, I LOVE IT!! That's for your hand and feet, for the most part, but if you really want something good, try the body shop's body butter. That is even better! Hope this helps!What are some good lotions and things that i can use to make my feet and hands softer?
    Anything from Bath%26amp;Body Works, but its soo expensive soo here are soem cheaper options...





    Burts Bee's Coconut foot cream $10 you only need a little just slip on a cotton sock after you apply it at night go to sleep wake up with pretty feet. :]





    Jergans Ultra Healing Lotion: Is ok not the best but good for a basic all over body moisture.





    St. Ives Skin Firming lotion has a nice sparkly-ness too it and it's unscented if you have sensitive skin and the best thing is it really does help firm my skin :]
    Go to bath and body works! They have a line that is in blue packaging. I don't remember what it's called, but I do know that one of the lotions was called ';Look ma, new hands'; (or something like that). That one works good and smells good!
    Vaseline Intense Care ;)
    Ten-O-Six does it for me. I alternate between their 2 kinds available.
    I heard that Gold Bond is good, I'm thinking of trying it.

  • My mom used a lotion today, and now has a rash on both hands and arms?

    She is taking Benadryl, but she has not had success with any topical creams. Can anyone recommend a topical cream that works well? She said Cortizone is working minimally, and Cortaid doesn't work at all. Any recommendations?





    Thanks :)My mom used a lotion today, and now has a rash on both hands and arms?
    She might be having an allergic reaction to something. I would try not using anything. You might could try using like some kind of doctor recommended cream. Hope I could help. :-)My mom used a lotion today, and now has a rash on both hands and arms?
    Just wash in the shower with a pure and natural soap.


    Don't use anything. Just take the benadryl -


    and if the rash is worse tomorrow call the MD - (medicated gold bond powder).. if she is suffering an oatmeal soak found at the drug store.





    Do not ever use products with mineral oil to them (petroleum based (vaseline, baby oils) this is not healthy and actually hardens your skin.
    i dont no wat u mean by tropial cream. but i have dry skin and i used a natural aloe vera gel- not the lotion and it helped a lot and it helped my brother when he got a rash.
    She's having an allergic reaction to the CHEMICALS and you are going to find that these CHEMICALS are in all things commercial and then some.My daughters doctors have suggested to take an INDIGESTION medication with the Benedryl med.IT WORKED! She broke out from the chemicals in laundry detergent Sense this is an adult we are talking about she may want to use something stronger like ClaritonD or another.We bought a generic indigestion med in pill form,daughter took 1/2pill dissolved and hidden in applesauce and it really worked.If this doesn't help the docs will probably put her on a stronger allergy med like Zyrtec or Singular and I still suggest taking it w/the indigestion meds (atleast ask Doc about it) but keep in mind these all are CHEMICAL made drugs and if she's allergic to something in them, like me, they will not help.I would definately stay away from the creams and I would also have your mom chk out these sites I am listing below.You NEED TO BE INFORMED.Feel free to email me if you any questions.
    yea soak the rask in warm water and then put baby oil over it

    Is there some particular reason why I must use foot lotion only on my feet, and not, say hands/face/elsewhere?

    I just realised that my foot lotion contains pretty much exactly the same ingredients as my all-over body moisturiser ... so why do I feel so inhibited at the thought of using it as, say face cream, I mean it is after all just moisturiser really, isn't it?? But try as I might when I think about using it on my face, I think ';no, it's FOOT lotion';. That little label on the bottle stops me somehow. Is this normal?Is there some particular reason why I must use foot lotion only on my feet, and not, say hands/face/elsewhere?
    You're absolutely right here, a lot of things are simply marketed in different containers, with different labels to fool people into buying several packs in the belief that it's for different jobs. It's all the same stuff! They do it with shampoo, cleaning creams, all kinds of things.Is there some particular reason why I must use foot lotion only on my feet, and not, say hands/face/elsewhere?
    lol thats hilarious! i think it is just moistriser, but u know, just to be safe, maybe u should just keep it as foot lotion. i really cant think what harm it would do though. i think the womens skin care companies make a fortune out of it all anyway. its probably all the same stuff.
    Dunno...my husband used his Avon foot lotion on his face for about a month before he actually looked at the label...Didn't seem to have any negative effects...


    Also didn't help to remove the penis from his forehead either!!
    Maybe thats another reason they scent a lot of lotions with peppermint because that would be too strong to put on your face...?
    lol


    yeah for some reason evry1 wood b like eww its for your FEET i cant put it anywhere else, its a mental thing, i am sure its fine :P
    lol! That's pretty funny. I think that perhaps it would still be okay to use it. And I think you will still be beautiful! Try it out and tell us how it goes.
    It would probably work, but don't blame me if your nose starts growing a toenail...

    Why do my dry hands feel like they are burning after I put lotion on them?

    I get extremely dry, cracked hands. I work with boxes so they get very dry.. Sometimes when I put lotion on them they feel like they are burning - it really hurts!





    Why does this happen? And how can I make this go away?





    I know it's not a reaction to the lotion, as I use it about 3 times a day no problems..it's just every now and then it gets that feeling..Why do my dry hands feel like they are burning after I put lotion on them?
    I get this also, its just because suddenly you're getting the moisture back that your hands so badly craved and when it hurts its really just your hands loving the moisture. And like the others said its like putting alcohol on you're cuts, it hurts but I have been told and I am sure that I'm not the only one, when it hurts it means its healing.Why do my dry hands feel like they are burning after I put lotion on them?
    Are you hands cold when you apply lotion?





    I think you should see a dermatologist
    Try a non scented lotion and probably cause your hands are so dry they burn its the same way with lips!
    It could be something in the lotion, as said. I would try a sensitive skin formula, maybe one with aloe in it. I have some skin probelms and lotion often burns my face. If it's that dry but stings, I'll put a light coat of neosporin on it for the night and it'll help- at least it'll be to the point that I can put on lotion the next morning. Of course, drink water, maybe try some vitamin e supplements for healing.


    Maybe it's not so much the lotion but something else you use? I do a lot of stuff in the garage, and I'll forget about how much lacquer thinnner I've used and go to wash my hands and end up dry and stinging. So there might be something else you're diong that affects your skin before the lotion goes on, making it more sensitive. Even something like washing a big load of dishes with super hot water could make your skin sensitive to lotion it would normally be ok with.
    Even though you can't see them, your hands get micro cracks that open up to the inside of your hands. Because these cracks are so small, they usually heal quickly so you don't get that burning every time. My recommendation, take work off for a while and give your hands a break. Drink LOTS more water. Most health and skin problems are caused by dehydration. Also try Alba brand lotions. Most of their lotions heal your skin and help prevent further damage. If all else fails, try putting on your lotion then wearing some soft gloves to work. If your hands start feeling dry in the gloves, apply more lotion, and put your gloves back on.
    the best thing to do is get a glove and vasline why dnt u rub ur hand with vasline and wear glove as u work wiht boxes the stuff in the boxes makes skin dry so get any kind of work glove good luck hope i help
    Most lotions have a alchol base in them you need to use a cream of sorts to help your hands to heal or maybe see a dematologists.
    Try using something for sensitive skin, with no fragrance or color added. The extra chemicals could be causing a reaction in your skin that needs healing! Try Gold Bond.
    alcohol based lotions and the way to get rid of that would be with a vaseline lotion.
    you have sensitive skin. jergens works well. dove soap works well. i suggest you see a dermatologist. it sounds like your hands are raw, and you need medication seriously.
    There are probably many small cracks in your hands so it's like putting lotion in a cut-- it's gonna hurt. You should try a more intense cream to keep the cracks at bay.
    You're using lotion with an alcohol base. Try just using vaseline.
    you're putting the lotion into open sours in your hands when they crack. the stinging is the alcohol in it. look at the ingredients in the lotion before using it or buying it.

    My hands are so dry please help?(i have NO lotion)?

    hey ive got OCD and wash my hands ALOT..so my ands and up my arm is realllly reallly dry right now..AND im out of lotion..my skin feels really tight and dry and its just awful





    i put alittl ehair putty with water on my hands, but its not working..any other ideas that i could use for lotion? or for locked in moisture?





    (dont tell me not to wash my hands so much...cause i cant help it)My hands are so dry please help?(i have NO lotion)?
    Do you have any baby oil handy? If not you can even use Olive Oil or Vegetable oil. Its a little greasier than regular lotion but it works just the same if not better! My hands are so dry please help?(i have NO lotion)?
    Don't use baby oil it drys your skin out.





    Olive oil is the very best natural moisturizer and doesn't wash off as easily as lotion so it's better than lotion for your situation.





    Good luck
    Baby oil, Vaseline, Olive oil if you can ignore the smell





    Look around the house and you may find so many things until you get some lotion
    If you have Vaseline, it traps in the moisture (but if you wash it off, youll have to put more on.... over and over again)
    use coconut oil or any cooking oil or cream(milk), or pure ghee at night so tht it will work for the night and things will improve
    Yep, Olive oil works. Also, in a pinch I use stick or pot style lip balm (Like chapstick or Carmex)
    first drink lots of water use DOVE soap ............. use baby oil before going to sleep......... there are my lotions also in the market try them if u want

    What is a good lotion for dry hands?

    Hi im 13 years old and lately Ive been getting really dry skin on my hands(front part). I need a good lotion/cream/ or anything else to help my hands but it shud be cheap! But i have a 40$ bath and body works gift card so it can be any price from there, id actually prefer to use my gift card up. pls SAY THE EXACT BRAND AND KIND not just ';try vaseline';, put a link for bonus pts!What is a good lotion for dry hands?
    get some perfume free cream at bath and body that has the shea buter in it, and also, drink more water.. and I hate to say it, but wash your hands with warm water at night for a minute or two, dry them and immediately put vaseline on them. you can also get those cotton gloves and put them on afterwards and sleep with them, it really helps. and it doesn't get cheaper than vaseline.What is a good lotion for dry hands?
    St.Ives or steves or cumtin or exact!
    I have a problem with dry skin also and I was told that any lotion is better than none.





    So, my advice is to buy whatever you like as long as you are not allergic to it. Personally, I wouldn't buy anything with Shea Butter as I think it smells too rich and overpowering.





    Some suggestions from Bath and Body Works would be:

    Or if you're looking for something a bit more natural try something made from beeswax with essential oils in it.
    Vaseline hand repair cream. Very nourishing and not greasy. only couple of dollars a tube and a little goes a long way. Silicone glove from AVON godd, a little greasier and not as readily available (can run down to wall mart and get AVON) but in expensive also. Have not tried anything from B%26amp;B for hands but their foot care line is great----hands probably are too.
    Dry skin needs plenty of oil and moisture. Use aloe vera gel after bathing.There are many helpful tips to cure dry skin at http://useinfo-dryskin.blogspot.com/

    I'm suffering from scabbies i put premethrin 5% lotion. i used it but still have pimple like boils on my hands

    hello! yesterday the doctor told me that i've bee suffering from scabbies which solved my month long itching. he gave me and my family premethrin 5% lotion and told us that we must put it on for 14 hours. after 14 hours i took bath with luke warm water and went to bed. after i woke up much of my irritation had gone and after a month i had cuddled like anything. but uptil now i feel a little bit irritation and there are rashes and there are still pink pimple like boils on my hands. what should i do? is it normal that the irritation continues and the boils remain on the hands for a while or is the scabbies mite is still there. the doctor told me that the use of premethrin is for once and if the ichting continues the lotion should be used after 14 days. should i use the premethrin lotion. he told me to visit him again after one week so what should i do in the mean time? it is making me scared plz reply as soon as possible.I'm suffering from scabbies i put premethrin 5% lotion. i used it but still have pimple like boils on my hands
    The mites cause damage to the skin, so even though the mites are dead the skin damage still needs to heal. If the pimples have yellow heads I think you need to go back to the doctor as you may have some infection. The doctor is the best person to advise you on re treatment;I'm suffering from scabbies i put premethrin 5% lotion. i used it but still have pimple like boils on my hands
    unless you wash all your bedding and underwhare it a hot wash you will never get rid of it, give all your laundry a good wash.
    HI - I was once unfortunate enough to catch scabies from a friend who worked in an old people's home of all places. I had to use an ointment which was applied for 24 hours and I was told that the irritation could last up to six weeks as although the mites are dead the protein from their body is still in your skin. Sounds logical to me.
    At the same time as putting the cream on did you boil wash all of your bed sheets, clothes etc, give the carpets curtains and settee cusions a good wash, boil if you can.


    Scabies lay their eggs in the seams of you clothes and on your bed sheets, if you dont rid them from your house 100% then you will just re-infect your self.


    Are you sure you definately have scabies and not dermatitus they are very similar looking but dermatitus is just a skin condition, its best to get a second opinion as sometimes doctors make mistakes with these conditions quite often.

    Rashes and irritation will continue for a few days, even if the mites are gone.
    hi, i got some lotion like that but its for nits too. on the bottle it says that the rash and itching can stay for a furthur 7 days. hope this helps
    Try having a bath,and add some bicarbonate of soda to it.This will help to relieve the redness you have.


    Also take some phenygan.This medicine contains an anti-histamine which help to relieve any itching.


    Use these for a couple of days,and if they don't help,go back to your doctors.
    did you change your bed lined for everyone and wash it on a hot wash when you used the lotion? If not you washed off the scabies killer and reinfested yourself on the dirty sheets. Go back to the doctor.

    How can i minimize the orange on my hands from using shade to order sunless tanning lotion?

    i tried a new product yesterday from b%26amp;bw. Its a sunless tanning lotion called shade to order. i might have went a little crazy lol my body looks good everything exept... the fron of my hands :( lol i made sure i washed the product off of my hands but for some reason my hands still turned out orange. i was wondering if anyone knew of a trick of minimizing the orange color on my hands and also if i used the product at a lower setting on my face if it wld end up looking like my hands do? thanks so much! :)How can i minimize the orange on my hands from using shade to order sunless tanning lotion?
    lemon juice :)How can i minimize the orange on my hands from using shade to order sunless tanning lotion?
    actually, it would b a good idea to put some of the tanning lotion on your hands when your doing the rest of your body, but to avoid so much orange, try putting either moisturizer on with it, after washing your hands, or try using your concealer. (concealer works better for me)

    Why do my hands get crackly dry after I wash them with soap? I use lots of lotion daily it doesn't help.?

    You're probably very dehydrated. Drink plenty of water. And put on a heavy hand cream, not a lotion with more water than anything else. Clinique body butter is actually really good, or melaleuca renew lotion. But my all time favorite is actually put out by Bath and Body Works, it's a honey hand cream from their couvent des minimes line. It smells like honey because that's one of the main ingredients. Put the cream on while your hands are still damp, and it will trap the moisture and force it into your skin. Also, if you want to really attack the problem, take some sort of omega-3 fatty acids. One really good form is flax seed oil, you can buy the caplets at any health food store. What the fatty acids do is force your cells to take in more moisture, so you're combating the internal dehydration as well as the external visible signs of it.





    If it doesn't get any better, go to a dermatologist. They have some serious topical treatments that kick dry skin in the butt.





    One more thing, there's also a skin cleanser made especially for chapped hands, you can find it at Bath and Body works too. (Love that place!) It's called CO Bigelow Chapped Hands Cleanser. It smells really yummy and it actually makes your hands feel softer after you use it.Why do my hands get crackly dry after I wash them with soap? I use lots of lotion daily it doesn't help.?
    Yeah coz soap dries the skin especially the hands wcoz you have to keep washing them. Best option is to buy your own hand wash if you don't have one and use it in iffice coz you sound as if your skin is originally dry so never never use any product that has soap or NaOH in it.Why do my hands get crackly dry after I wash them with soap? I use lots of lotion daily it doesn't help.?
    I've always had problems with dry hands; i think that the best thing is to put on your hands every night a hand cream like vaseline.


    I prefer ';Camphor Ice';, i think it helps me more then anything. It costs about the same as vaseline, and you can find it in any pharmacy.
    You may have sensitive skin, or perhaps you don't tolerate cold, dry winter weather very well (like me), or you may be washing them too much. If you're being too rough on your hands, the amount of moisture you put back on them won't help a whole lot. Try taking more Vitamin E, and start using a stronger, more expensive type of lotion. I suggest Gold Bond Medicated, Dura Cream or Corn Huskers Lotion. Commercial fisherman %26amp; surgeons swear by Corn Huskers Lotion. (Sorry, that's not meant to be an advertisement; it's just what I've found to be true. I'm not a lotion representative!) =)
    If you use antibacterial soap, stop. It is extremely drying for the skin. Choose a gentle soap, and try moisurizing after each time you wash your hands (when practical). I tried a lot of different good lotions and have had the best luck with Palmer's Lotion with Cocoa Butter. Good luck.
    Try using a soap that is not as strong, without as much antibacterial stuff in it. I recommend using aquaphor, it is like vaseline. You might have psoriasis, which is an overgrowth of skin.
    use cocoa butter lotion.


    and washing your hands a lot isn;t good for you.


    maybe its the soap ur using that ur hands or skin aren't really cooroperatting well?
    Try a different lotion until one works for you. Body butter's work very well.

    Does anyone know any lotions or remedys to fix dry, scratchy hands?

    i worked with sand paper today and now my fingers are dry, rough, scratched and peeling. i tried to pumas them but it didn't really help. I want smooth and soft hand again! any ideas? im going to wear gloves from now on.Does anyone know any lotions or remedys to fix dry, scratchy hands?
    anything would work.





    ANY product would work.... I use eucerinDoes anyone know any lotions or remedys to fix dry, scratchy hands?
    Anything good and thick should work, just put on a nice thick layer before bed. Gold Bond, Glysomed, Lubriderm.
    haha.. sounds like you may have overworked your hands a bit with some sand paper! Try using some kind of medicated lotion on your hands, those rough patches may be tiny scratches and scrapes.. In the mean time, use some sort of lotion and maybe mix just a tiny dot of neosporin before applying the lotion! In due time you will have soft girly hands again! lol..
    Wrap them in warm damp compresses.


    Repeat add a soothing hand cream (anything that doesn't contain mineral oil) and keep the warm compress on.





    Apply at bed time too - things soothe and rebuild at night.


    While you sleep. May take a day or two to feel better.

    I have the roughest hands ever! and im a girl! [any lotion that can help me?]?

    i dont know whats wrong with me... but i already have large man hands and to top it off... they are soooo rough!


    and im only 15. so that really sucks.


    im guessing that its... from genes or whatever. but i cant change that.





    my question is what can soften your hands. i havent tried alot of things because im not exactly sure what to try. but what i have tried is really not much a help.


    whats the best exfoliater? does that help soften hands?





    i dont know if i can have hands like a babies soft skin, but anything is better than now. im so embarrassed! ):





    pleeeeassse and thanks!I have the roughest hands ever! and im a girl! [any lotion that can help me?]?
    get a foot scrubber to scrub of dead skin.


    using body butter a couple times a day should help as well.I have the roughest hands ever! and im a girl! [any lotion that can help me?]?
    Try Eucerin or Gold Bond Lotions
    The easiest thing to do is Always walk around with a hand lotion that contains Vitamin E and at night before bed wash your hands and while they are still damp put some oil on them (try something light like Jojoba, coconut, sweet almond, vitamin E ect) and wear plastic gloves over that and sleep...do that for a week and your hand will be baby soft.

    What is the best lotion or treatment for dry chapped hands?

    I am a bartender and have been bar tending for nearly 2 years straight. With all the hand washing, bottle top twisting, ice plunging, wine opening, lime cutting, and alcohol splashing my fingers and hands get fairly beat up.





    I also have sensitive skin and have been using Lubriderm Sensitive Skin Therapy Lotion for a while now.





    However, lately (and always during Winter months) my hands and knuckles have been extremely dry/chapped, and painful. I really don't want to be serving customers with bloody fingers/knuckles.





    Is there anything I can do for my hands? What is the best lotion for my hands?





    Thanks,

    HOWDY!!! Guy,





    Bulldog here! I don't know if you have tried this one or not but it works for me as long as i use it. I was introduced to it back in the 50's by my Grandpa. He had real, real dry skin and that is where my dry skin comes from but what a GREAT MAN Grandpa was. I sure miss him. This stuff is oil free. The ingredients; Water, Glycerin, SD Alcohol 40, Sodium Calcium Alginate, Oley! Sarcosine, Methylparaben, Guar, Gum, Triethanolamine, Calcium Sulfate, Fragrance, Calcium Chloride, Fumaric Acid, and Boric Acid. I know get to the product; It is CORN HUSKERS LOTION Heavy Duty Hand Treatment. The front label has oil free in the left corner, and yellow, green, and white.





    Guy you should be able to find it in some grocery stores in the pahar. area. If you don't find it there check at the Drug Stores. I am 60yrs old and still use it on my hands and it does work if used on a daily basis. It my look gross but use it. Rub it in real good and your hands should be softer than they have been. Good Luck.





    STAY SAFE!!!

    Invest in some eucerin cream. Apply this to your hands when you are going to bed and put a pair of latex or vinyl gloves over them. After a couple of days of doing this, you will see a huge improvement. It works..
    burt's bees original balm - its wonderful and has many uses.
    i would say use carmex, it works great for chapped skin. of course i wouldnt recommend using it at work, its a little greasy so it would make it hard to open bottles and stuff.
    Thermacare skin quencher. Hope this helps. You can also at night apply baby lotion or petroleum jelly which is the best, and cover your hands with the white gloves , that they make for this condition, dairy farmers use them alot. That will help them alot.
    Pure lanolin. You can find it in stores like Whole Foods, in the breastfeeding area. You will find that lanolin, or derivatives of it are the primary ingredient in most lotions and chapsticks. Its very thick, and works wonderfully for all sorts of dry skin etc.
    i like body butters they always seem to work well for me
    PURE cocoa butter
