I also use Neutrogena hand cream. My hands are in water all the time as I am a hair dresser and they get very dry because of all the chemicals I use. This is the only hand cream that really works. and does't stay on top of your hands so you can handle your quilts and not worry.

I have very dry hands, my sweet mother passed 2 years ago - her whole body was dry (she wouldn't drink water!), so we've tried a lot of things:
a little Vaseline on moist hands, rubs in well; if I'm doing gloves over night I use the disposable latex gloves used for painting, etc; Surgeon's Secret is wonderful; one of my all time favorites is from the crazy lady Joan Rivers - her Absolutely Magic hand cream - it's the best! Her Absolutely Magic foot cream is too but I can't find it anywhere any more! The foot cream has dimethicone in it, so if you find hand cream with that as an ingredient, should be very healing. |

All ingredients are Dollar Store General Brand. You may find the vitamin E cream and Vaseline in smaller jars but use 16oz each. The clean up is quick and not messy. Bottle of Baby Lotion (16 ounces) Jar of Vitamin E Cream (16 ounces) Jar of Vaseline (16 ounces) Mix all together with mixer until light and creamy and put in containers. |
I really like silicone glove from avon. Especially when my hands
get really chapped and sore. |

I like a bottle of pink baby lotion (16 oz), an 8 oz jar of Vitamin E cream and a large bottle of Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion. Stir it all together and it is kind of a disappearing lotion, no greasiness and it smells great. Keep your Vitamin E cream jar and your bottles from the lotions to put it back in unless you have some other handier containers.
