Hand/Body Cream

[MacnRio]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#OK, here's a "hot" topic! lol  I'm procrastinating at work..... And as I was in CostCo last night perusing the hand creams I thought to post here and ask people's opinions.... Now is the perfect time to ask..... drags out doing my work! haha  With all the farm work I'm doing and time spent outside and, of course, dry weather coming on, I'm finding my hands are EXTREMELY dry.... My pointer fingers to the point of cracking and bleeding.  I wear work gloves for most of the work, but they are still relatively dry.  Try putting nylons on with "picky" skin........ shudder.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#So, what hand cream/lotion do you find works best?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#CostCo has tons of brands - Keri, Lubriderm (dont like how greasy it stays), Vaseline, Olivina, Oil of Olay, Dove and probably many more.  I'm standing there staring at them all, checking the price, etc.  I've tried many of the brands and don't find they work very well.  Anyways, I didn't want ot go super cheap, but also didnt want to spend tons of $$.  So, I sorta went in the middle and decided to try the Oil of Olay "Quench" body lotion.  Anyone used it?  Found it works?  first of all, I've noticed it leaves sparklies on my skin! lol  Has a nice, but strong scent.  But you read it and it says that not only does it moisturize on the surface and last 24 hours, but goes in deep and sends a "burst" of moisture (or something similar, I don't have a bottle here with me)....  I kinda rolled my eyes at that one! lol  But, it was middle of the line priced (I was looking at the "price per unit, like the 1.2735 cents thing) and something new.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#And, maybe that extra "burst" of moisture will help with graciespook's "shock" problem.... Well, anyones shock problem! lol#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Personally i use uderly smooth. its works wonders on dried cracked skin.... #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

[graciespook]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#LOL..strangely enough, as far as my hands go I use the Herbacin Kamille lotion in the green tube with the flower on the front. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#It moisturizes and since it has glycerine, isn't greasy, but really quenches and helps. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I'm a big fan of Olay Quench for extra dry skin.  I use to have to get prescription moisturizor to help my skin in the winter but not since I found this product#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Go to Walmart and buy Udderly Smooth. But get the tube one, not the pump (that has a different formula that's not as good). It is the BEST hand cream on the market My kids get exzema on their hands in the winter and it's the only cream that works for them. It's not at all greasy, either. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#438059 size=4#ed_cl#I just switched over to the Aveeno line of products.  I have trouble finding a lotion that I can stand the smell of.  Aveeno has a very soft smell when it goes on, and after a couple of minutes the scent goes away.  #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#438059 size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#438059 size=4#ed_cl#I have bought the Face Lotion that calms redness in you face due to dry skin.  The Clearifing Foaming Face Wash, the Daily Exfoliating Scrub (for brighter skin), the Body Lotion for Ultra Dry Skin (with menthol) and the moisturizing body bar (with oatmeal).  So For I am very pleased with all of it.  #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#438059 size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#438059 size=4#ed_cl#My skin is soft and supple and most of the irritation that I used to just ignore is gone.  No more red splotches on my face and no more razor burn on my legs.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#438059 size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#438059 size=4#ed_cl#I think I will also try the Aveeno night cream as well.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#For my hands and feet I find the best best best is a product called "Glysomed". It's made with glycerine, silicone and camomile. It's in a green and white bottle (or you can just buy a small tin), you can get scented or non scented. and works wonders for really dry skin. #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#A href="http://www.glycomed.com/"#ed_cl##ed_op#/A#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#For all over my body I use Lubriderm but find for dry hands and feet you need a more 'specialized' cream #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#A href="http://www.glycomed.com"#ed_cl##ed_op#/A#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

I love Glycerin/Silicon hand cream by Dreiturm Kosmetic. Yellow tube with green writing. It seems to heal those icky, bleeding cracks quite well. Not much of a scent, either.

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I actually like the hand and body lotion that Mane & Tail puts out.  You can buy it in the tube up here (in Tack Shops) but if you are in the States, Walgreens sells it in the tub and pump size which was really cheap.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I've used it all year round and it's reeeeaaaally good keeping a tan going when I've come back from Florida.  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I find that it smooths right into your skin and is reactivated when you wash your hands.  Very little or no smell.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#A tip which was passed along to me (but probably not new news), is to turn the shower off and lather your body (arms, legs, back, etc) with the lotion and then step back under the water and rinse off.  I fried my back on a recent trip to Florida and damned if I've started to peel yet.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Oh yeah! Forgot about the Udderly Smooth, I bought the tube one at TSC one time, it IS good stuff. Costco doesn't have it though..... so I didn't think of it..#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Oh, Glycosamed (sp?), I think they had that, but it is EXPENSIVE!  But hey, if it will keep my hands from being super "picky", I"ll try it!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I LOVE the Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moistureizer.  I am quite pasty when it comes skin tone and i started using it at the beginning of the summer to work up abit of coulor for the beach and it worked great there but I have constantly dry skin on my legs and its worked wonders!  Id give it a shot it isnt greasy or have a bad smell and it isnt terribly expensive $4 and abit at Walmart.  I like the Jergens hand specific creams as well.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Neatsfoot oil! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#More seriously I have found that the Glysomed is too greasy for my job. I like the Neutrogena Norwegian formula. It is a little greasy initially, but soaks right in after 10 or 15 minutes. I can get a little OCD about handwashing in flu season, plus also have chores, and I find it good. Also part of what I do to work off my lessons is washing the stall fronts, I don't use rubber gloves, and find that stuff fixes me right up afterwards.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My personal fav (not just for the hands but they also have body cream, talics, shower gel) is called Perlier. Its made in Italy and they have AWESOME scents, and it leaves the skin to hydrated and sliky.

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#i've found st. ives also has some really good creams & reasonable priced.........i love tho cucumber one (for dry skin), and it has a nice fresh smell to it, but not to pungent & it only lasts a little while. or....baby lotion.....even the teddy's choice brand from no frills, it's nice, has a baby powder smell & works well#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
