Question by 30 year old: What’s the best hand cream for day care workers, nurses or other people who frequently wash their hands?
I work at a daycare and change diapers, feed, and clean all day, so I’m constantly washing my hands. I would say I wash them between 40-60 times a day. My skin is so dry and thick, you can pinch the back of my knuckels and the skin doesn’t go back. I get paper cuts easily and I have tiny painful bumps on my palms and sometimes back of my hands (the doctor says it’s ezcema from dry skin). I’ve recently thought about the paraffin wax baths, but not sure if it’s worth the investment. Is there anything that you can recommend from experience or someone who you know. It seems that I’ve tried 5-6 different creams and it’s just not enough. Thank you!

I like Oil of Olay quench or Jergens Ultra Healing lotion. Both make my hands soft without feeling oily.

Question by CS: My hands are wrinkling easily when exposed to water for only a couple minutes. Know a good hand cream?
Lately my hands have been easily wrinkling in the shower after only a minute or two. That is never happened to me before. I am not quite sure what caused this, but it started around a time I had worked on my car without gloves. I think it may have damaged the epidermis. Anyone have any ideas of what may be going on? Anyone know of any good hand creams that will buildup the keratin on the palms of my hands so they don’t wrinkle so easily with exposure to water?

When your skin getts wrinkly from water its because your skin is already dehyrated, replenish from the inside, drink lots of water and yes moisturise your hands. I dont think youve damaged your epidermis, just dried it out with the grease remover etc. Good idea to use a moisturiser, most will do the trick, so just pic your preference in smell and texture, lanolin, sorbolene, vitamin E, coco butter, they shought all sought it out, just watch though as some will feel a bit ‘oilyer’ than others.
