Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My hands tend to get dry in the winter to begin with.
Handling fabric all the time just seems to make it worse. Also---handling HOT fabric from all the pressing that quilters do dries my hands even more.
What do you use for hand lotion? I use a lot of Bath & Body Works lotion. But I would like to find something that works a little better.
Thanks in advance for advice!
Dermasil from the Dollar Tree......yep just 1 buck....use to sell for $6 in the big box stores.
Me too! I really like it.Originally Posted by Tiggersmom

Remember, people will see your quilts long after you are gone....NOT your housework!
Bath and Body Works lotions leave my fingers feeling greasy. I prefer Neutrogena's Norwegian Hand Creme (found at drug stores everywhere). It soaks in quickly and doesn't leave hands feeling greasy and does a great job moisturizing. I keep a tube in my car and another in a drawer next to my sewing machine.

I don't use lotion at all. I guess it's because of where I live. When I press fabric, I let the fabric cool before handling. I never thought to use hand lotion because it leaves my hands feeling greasy and plus leaves residue on the fabric.
Curel lotion works nicely and isn't greasy or perfumed.
I like cheap dollar store Udder Cream
also, Victoria's secret, their vanilla hand cream is the best.
put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.
I use gold bond healing hand cream-- wonderful stuff & I can still hand sew after applying it. Non greasy.
hiding away in my stash where i'm warm, safe and happy
I have exema on my hands especially during the winter, and when using fabric, so I have tried nearly everything in the stores, and several the doctor recommended, and the best thing I have found, bar none, to use on my sensitive crispy hands is Johnson's baby cream in the original scent. The cocoa butter works too, but is too sweet smelling for me the chocoholic, and I have never tried the lavender scent since I am allergic. Works wonders if I wear it to bed. I find mine at dollar tree.
If you always do, what you have always done, The results never change. Change is the wings you give yourself.
Pricey but excellent is Clarins Hand and Nail cream. I ask for it at birthdays and Christmas
Lang may yer lum reek. (I'm a knitter - hence - 'Knit-ette'. Confuses a lot of people!)
