Ahhh! Dry hands!

[Rainbow_Hair]

Can anyone recommend a good hand cream? I've really started to notice how dry my hands are due to all the contact with dye and other chemicals! And my hand cream just isnt up to the job any more!

Body shop hemp hand cream is brilliant and as I do a lot of gardening etc as well my hands are really rough! The smell is a bit weird, they do an almond one as well which is good.

I heard that was good! Thank you definitely going to invest in some!

I noticed my hands getting very dry about 2 years ago and used the body shop hemp cream which actually made them worse! they became extremely irritated and sore after using it, a few people suggested it might have been too strong? If i ever notice them getting dry now I use Neutrogena Norwegian Formula hand cream as recommended by another hairdresser.

Oh wow how strange! Will keep that in mind! thanks for your advice

You can usually buy a salon hand moisturiser from your supplier.. They are really good and act as a barrier cream for chemicals and help prevent dermatitis xx

thats really funny because I tried the neutrogena one and it made my hands inflammed and burny, yet the hemp one is fine:irked: I guess we are all different.

I can highly recommend the Kaeso cranberry sensation hand treatment cream. It's lovely,and does the job!

I use vitamin e, buts its too greasy. Aqueous creams or body butters nice. I recently started using freshly made massage bath melts and they are paraben free and so soft on my hands. If not that then something the docs recommended (i had really bad allergies a while back!) In the salon im always lathering my hands with the sterex clear apres cream, it so soft on my hands....plus antibacterial! xoxo

The Body Shop Almond oil intensive treatment is the best ( better than hemp in my opinion, and smells so much better ) or on a par is Loccitaine shea butter hand cream, and I don't have either at the mo.....................I may have to go and spend some money x

depends how bad they are i go between

e 45 cream during the day (if and when i remember)
vasaline at night sometimes

but if my hands get particularly bad which they often do, they get sore some times i swear by sudocreme (spelling) i put it on before bed time hands and feet..

During the day I apply body shop hand cream and at night if they are particularly dry or I want to give them a treat I put a 50p sized drop of solar oil in my palm and use it to cover my hands and nails the coat them in either Lucas Pawpaw Ointment or Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream (depending on what I have open!) my hands feel lovely when I wake up!!!

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream love this but find sometimes it can be nippy

I found my hands at their worst when I used tigi and loreal, golf well, Clynol and Schwarzkopf shampoo and conditioners, they were cracking and bleeding, but I switched to Paul Mitchell and it stopped, then matrix and still no problem but I use hemp hand cream

I have tried sooo many and the ONLY thing that works for me is L'occitane 20% shea butter hand cream and their shea butter liquid soap. Ive also heard a product being mentioned called derma shield which is supposed to protect ur hands? Im going to give this a try. Hope ur hands get better soon xxx

Oh! Ok!!

I didn't know if they meant stinky, as that's what it would mean where I used to live!

I was going to say if it was the smell that was the problem, EA have brought out and odor free version for the first time in 82 years after so many people saying they don't like the smell.

Just realised that looks wrong. I meant sting-y, as in that stings - that's a bit nippy.
