Best Hand Creams for Dry, Cracked Hands | Expert Recommendations

Question
Hi Linda,

My hands used to be so hydrated and smooth before I had two childrSoneten. All the diaper changing, baths and hand washing has destroyed my hands. They are SO dry and hurt all the time. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night because they hurt and itch terribly. I have been using Gold Bond hand cream for 3 weeks and I think it is starting to help but do you have any other suggestions on products that could help me?

Any rich hand cream or lotion such as Eucerin or Gold Bond will heal your hands back to normal in 3-4 weeks.  To speed up the process, apply the product very generously and wear a pair of rubber gloves or cotton socks (on your hands) to bed each night.  This should remedy your dry skin in 1-2 weeks if done faithfully every night.  After the treatment period, just go back to using the product every night or throughout the day a couple of times to maintain the results.

Best,
Linda Gearke
