hehe, are those for men though?
I've used vasaline before, yes it's discussting. Lol. It works though, slather it on, wear socks so it doesn't get on your stuff and go to sleep. (that's the best time to do it because your not doing anything but sleep.)

If you wouldn't prefer that, you could also try one of the lotions from Bath & Body Works. They're lotions smell amazing, and are full of natural ingredients.

Eucerin hand lotion is the best, I had a red rash on my hand because it was so dry, but Eucerin took care of it.

Personally, I prefer The Body Shop's Hemp Hand Protector. It costs a bit more than a grocery store cream, but it works really well. Fragrance is not at all feminine. All the men in my family who work outside quite a bit use it. It's also used by many I know who are nurses and have to wash their hands a lot. It's main moisturizers are hempseed oil, beeswax, lanolin, and glycerin.

Baby, But would it be OK on the hands??? I'm looking at the paraffin and petrolatum which would be a great barrier on the hands against moisture loss and abrasion. [email protected] - I'd use bear grease if it made my hands soft! (got any?)

You might be right about that. The bear grease that is.

A small dab of Vaseline on the hands and cuticles before bed. It works and its cheap. If you want to spend more money, shea butter (L'Occitane) works great!
Mario Badescu Elasto Seamollient (sp?) hand cream is one of my faves for after doing dishes or cleaning. Its cheap too. Love the smell!!!

Does it contain Vitamin E? I've heard that's very important

I have a tube of cheap no-name type hand lotion that I have been too fussy to use. Last night I gave-in an put a glob in my hands, added a couple of drops of glycerin to it, mixed it up, and massaged it into the skin of my hands, including the fingers and wrists. This morning my hands were incredibly soft - unlike the other hand lotions that I had been using, and certainly alot cheaper.
I think that the lotion merely served as a vehicle to deliver the glycerin which, as Fawnie noted above, should not be used straight from the bottle. But it is a fantastic humectant. I cannot wait for tonight when I plan to add a drop or two of sweet almond oil to it - if only I had some coconut oil handy too!

Great tip, I'm going to try using it like that
