Hand Cream

Post by Stormproof »

Only a few weeks into the winter and the skin on my hands is f****d. Anyone else having the same trouble? I'm using E45 but it does'nt appear to be working too good.

No smutty answers DGP
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

I use Neutrogena 'Norwegian formula' concentrated hand cream. It works really well and last ages.

I have terrible trouble with cracked skin on my hands in winter. Even since i was a kid so its nothing to do with the job (although being out in this weather obviously doesn't help)!
I cant find anything that works ive tried E45 and vaseline and neutrogena and alot of others but my skin still cracks up and i end up bleeding over the letters AAAARRGHH! :sad:
Just say NO ....to the new agreement.

Get this one! A little more expensive than some but well worth it!
