Hands

  • Experts

After all these years of nursing, I should have come up with some sort of hand care routine. For whatever strange reason, I never have :( I noticed a month or so ago that my hands and forearms look like an 80 year-olds. They are so dry and wrinkly. Does anyone have a miracle lotion or routine that keeps their hands looking young and soft?

    Mine are horrible too. For me, it seems like the only time that I can hold onto moisture from lotions is if I use baby/mineral oil afterwards. And even that is not a permanent fix, but it does feel like it adds a little extra extra protection from harsh soaps.

    I'd love to see how others handle this as well!

    Avon Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing & Repair hand cream. I've used it for years and it's the best thick cream that doesn't leave a weird residue. As a nurse I'm sure you know someone selling Avon ?

    You can make a sugar scrub.

    In a jar with a lid place 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup oil (olive, coconut or whatever) and a few drops of essential oil if you want it scented.

    Scoop up a bit of the mixture with dry hands, and scrub your hands as though you are washing them. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Your hands should feel soft and restored and not greasy.

    O’Keefe’s Foot Cream!! I would find it at Ace Hardware, but I bet you can find it online.

    I buy it at Wally World. Works like a dream. Their Working Hands cream is amazing as well, on the shelf next to the foot cream

    I like Neutrogena's hand cream. It has been around for a long time and works well. CeraVe has night cream that works well as a hand cream too. I wear gloves when doing gardening and house cleaning too.

    AVON Silicone Glove... I keep a tube on my desk and apply several times throughout the day.

    Thanks so much for the information. I'm going to buy each of them I think and try them all out. My hands sure need it.
