My mother works in a daycare and washes her hands 100 times a day. Now they are dry and cracked from all that washing. She has tried coco butter and brands that say extra moisture but they don't work.Know any brands of hand moisturizers?
Bath and Body works, healing hand cream.Know any brands of hand moisturizers?
I'd start with looking for a milder and/or moisturizing soap, first; try to minimize the damage done in the first place.
I like Jergens moisturizers, since they have light scent (I'm sensitive to stronger scents), absorb quickly, and seem to work well. I would suggest using it after EVERY time she washes her hands.
Another option I've heard about is udder cream (literally, the stuff used on cow's udders to soothe them from frequent milking). Though I haven't used it myself, an OCD friend of mine (washes his hands compulsively) recommends it highly.
Vaseline, or the gardener's hand cream. I think it's a bath and body works thing. It has lemongrass and stuff in it, so it smells yummy, and its really thick, so it protects your hands really well. I've got seriously dry skin, and I love the stuff.
OLAY QUENCH.
Has she tried ';Corn Huskers'; it sounds stupid but it works and its not expensive. A really good on that needs to be used at home because it takes a While to rub in is pure Glycerine. Get it at Walmart or any drug store. That stuff will heal you overnight if you rub it in really well.
my dear friend,
number of handclasps in the market.
take ad-wise to day care they will give causation.
all the best.

Stay away from the lotions and head for the body creams. There thicker than lotion. Go to bath and body works at any mall,they have many different sents you can test,i personaly like the plumeria.And if you get a basket or bagged set,you can give it to her as x-mas gift. She will love it!
well i try bath and body or i try the lotion vaseline it works
St. Ives makes wonderful skin products. My mom suffers from very mild psoriasis on her knees and hands, and for 20 years she tried every brand of lotion and moisturizer and hand cream she could find. She went to several skin specialists to get prescription creams, but nothing worked.
But then she tried St. Ives lotion, and she's been psoriasis free for three years. She uses any of their stuff - she's had the Whipped Silk, Cucumber Melon scented, and the Vanilla stuff. They all seem to work wonderfully. I know they make a hand cream, so you may want to look for that and try it.
Tell her to apply it generously before bed and wear latex gloves.
If you can't find the St. Ives stuff, try the latex gloves trick with any moisturizer...it really strengthens their effects.
What i do is out on vaseline and wear socks inside out on my hands! it really works.
Please try the Avon Silicone Glove Hand Cream. This has been a life saver for me especially in the winter.
Burt's Bees has wonderful products and they are all natural. I love their lotions and lip moisturizers.
I know a TERRIFIC one for you. It is a hand and body lotion that really moisturizes your skin and makes it nice and smooth. It is a brand called Keri, you don't find much anymore but I'm sure that if you look really hard I'm sure you'll find it cause' there are ALOT of stores around that have moisturizers.
Aveeno, Dove
Aveeno intense therapy works well.
i use Vaseline thats the brand its really good my hands are always soft i love nice hands!!!
use Aveno it is the best it makes your hands so soft and gives them lots of moister or Dove!!!
Gold Bond Ultimate.
