    Default dry as a bone!

    In the winter my skin gets dry. The skin dries out during the day and I have to re apply the Burt’s Bees I am using now to keep my hands from cracking. Does any one have a good lotion or cream that might resolve this problem. I know some of you boys live in very cold areas. (For the life of me I don't know why) but I thought you might have something special or proven to last a while.

    The problem is that washing your hands will also dry out your skin. However one thing that does last a while is Glysomed. It will leave your hands feeling greasy but there's no better product to help your hands recover from shoveling snow at -40.

    I have the same problem. I have been using Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand cream. Works ok

    I use creams from Lush. I'm using the Fream Cream right now and it's GREAT!

    Philip, the good thing about Glysomed is that you can pick it up @ WM and it's relatively cheap... As for Lush, I can't imagine how you can walk in there without a gas mask

    I've never had need to use it, but some folks swear by cornhuskers lotion. Its very cheap and available at any drugstore.

    Gave my wife a cream from Lush a while ago...Helping Hands I think it was called. Very nice stuff. As for the scent of the shop I kind of like it. It's strong but not unpleasant and when you come out of the shop your clothes smell all nice.
