Extreme dry hands - What Helps!!

RescueLover — Sun, 14 Jan 2024 17:05:27 GMT

My hands are so dry they’re cracking and I’ve tried so much with no relief. I went to Sephora and they had me try Kiel’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve. I got home and read reviews and ordered it. Does anyone know of more brands that help with my condition? Thank you!!

@RescueLover. I've used Avon Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing and Repair for years. I've tried others and always so back to the Avon, which I get on sale very inexpensively..

I recently tried Beekman Hand Cream. What a waste of money as it's an absolutely useless product.

Good old vaseline and cotton gloves at night.

Hands down, Alpha with 12% Glycolic AHA, is the best. Softest feet ever too. Amazon.

Keep your hands out of water if you can. Wear rubber gloves for household chores.

Wear gloves when you go outdoors, even just for a little while. It makes a difference and protects your nails, too. Rub a little olive oil into your cuticles when you have it out to do something in the kitchen.

@RescueLover I use O'Keeffe's Working Hands cream and really like it. I keep it by the kitchen sink, because I have wash my hands a lot. It works even better if I can remember to put some on before I go to bed.

I use A La Maison handwash & Cruel lotion for dry skin. I only use homemade soaps when I take a shower. My hands are never dry. I don't need to use lotion daily.

The only thing that helps me with my dry hands is Josie Maran hand cream. It starts working after just using once. I also find that I use less of this hand cream because it works. I just purchased 5 super size because she does not offer unscented very often.

Awesome!!! I really appreciate everyone’s help!! My hands are so dry and cracked that they keep me up at night because they hurt so much. Every night before bed I use peroxide on the cracks and then apply triple antibiotic ointment which helps with some of the soreness.

Thank You Thank You!!! 🤗🤗🤗

Any really good oil works, even olive oil with a pair of socks on your hands will do wonders overnight. Also just plain Vaseline and a pair of cotton socks overnight.

Something I didn't see anybody mention is why your hands are so dry and cracked, there may be something missing in your diet that is making your skin breakdown like that. that's why the Mediterranean diet is supposed to be so good for peoples' skin and that includes olive oil in your diet.

O-Keefe's is the best I have ever used on my hands. No more dry rough spots in the winter around fingettips or on hands, and so glad I found it.
