Be careful with products containing nut oils if your patient has a peanut allergy. A friend of my daughter's has a severe peanut allergy and suffered a reaction when bathing a child she was babysitting with a bath product containing almond oil. She is so sensitive that she might react to a touch from a nurse wearing such a product.

Yet another thing to worry about!

I have awfully dry skin the year round and have found Neutrogena is the best for cracks in your fingers and heels. It is pretty greasy so I only use it at night with gloves and socks on but it really really works.:twocents:

Curell hand cream its great!!!:cool:

If you like smelly/perfumy things, TrueBlueSpa's Look Ma, New Hands! and Glove Me Tender handcreams are my favorite. Kind of expensive but I love it. It has an orangy-scent to it.

I like the bath n body works antibacterial creams and moisturizing hand soaps. l use both in the winter and only have a little problem around my rings (eczema from way back) and i use either eucerin or aquaphor on that.

I use Seacrest which is made in Isreal, but you can find it in many malls at the kiosks.

I pay about $20 per tube...they'll try to sell it to you for $40, but when you don't buy, the price comes down quick!
