I avoid Gold Bond lotion but only because it acts like catnip with my cats. Have you ever had a cat stick its head up your pants leg to get at the lotion you've put on your legs? After applying, I wipe my hands on my bath towel and the cat goes nuts rubbing herself all over the towel. :)

Agree with the Udder Cream.

winter and sewing = thumb cracks for me. For the night time treatment, I use lanolin/mammol. It worked when I was breast feeding 30 years ago; now I use it on my hands at night with the cotton gloves.

I use udder cream when sewing. Found a large pump bottle at Menard's for a low price. Have it next to my sewing machine. I use Physicians Second Skin (I believe that is what it is called) on cuts or on cracked thumbs. Really heals them.

I read some directions for using Lubriderm to help with free motion quilting, so it must not damage fabric. I just put some on and my hands aren't sticky. I think using something regularly is more important than what we use. I like Bath and Body Works Shea hand creams.

gloves in a bottle is my lotion of choice for dry-winter hands- a little bit goes a long way- no greasiness - protects for a long time- was given a gift of *udder cream* once- it caused immediate red spots and horrible itching/burning- so i guess i'm allergic to something in it-
gold bond medicated is also a very good choice

I prefer Neutrogena hand cream ... because it is nonallergenic.

Whoops, I just looked up at the tube I just used. It's Neutrogena that was in the FMQ article.

I found this in Ace Hardware of all places.. I LOVE it... Ill use it throughout the day and especially at night and in the morning my hands look and feel GREAT..

I use Cerave lotion when I am sewing or quilting and then use Cerave cream all other times. I have very sensitive skin and am able to use this even on my face. I buy it at Walgreens or Walmart. It is not cheep but a little goes a long way.
