Can anyone recommend a really intensive hand cream, my hands are in an awful state, really dry and soap has started to irritate them a bit. I've tried that Norwegian stuff from Neutrogena and also some really creamy stuff with hemp in from the Body Shop, neither have helped.
It is possible that your hand wash is making them worse. I tried Carex for a while and it dried out my hands out and made my skin peel! Which ever one you use try changing it to a fairly natural one for a while. If its going to make any difference it will do so in about a week.
(I use this Bentley one now and have normal skin again.)
