HELP!

Hello ladies - if anyone in the world would know - it would be you guys....last few weeks my hands have become so dry! On the backs of my hands the skin sometimes gets inflamed they are that dry. I apply hand cream all the time and slap extra on at night, but nothing is helping and they are so bad! Any ideas on what I can do to help them, or what products I could buy to help them? Please??
Desperate!

Was a bit naughty today. We have an Avon rep who delivers to our office and although our receptionist has ordered some bits in the past I've managed to flick through but not order. Unfortunately, today was not the case

Have ordered the following, all of which I can't really justify as needing.

Bubble Bath BOGOF
Room spray, bath creme and shower gel 3 4 £5
Crusade pin (always have bought these so am justifying this)
2 packs of muslin cloths

A total of £13.00. Oops. Although in my defence the last time I bought anything from Avon was 23rd October last year. Before I used to order from every book, which comes out every three weeks, hence why I have such a huge stash. Have I redeemed myself

Sarah, I'm glad for you that you have a diagnosis at last, and even more glad that you have an enlightened doctor who had the foresight to give it. Love and hugs and enjoy your treats.
Very interesting that you collected compliments, when you were feeling so yerch (but looking externally pampered).
That must have made you feel good inside, even if you were stifling an ironic laugh at the time.

Over the weekend I UU John Frieda Brunette Shine Release Moisturising Conditioner. WIBA? Yes, the JF range is my HG. Also, an Elle MacPherson Replenishing Hand Cream 50 ml which I kept in my bedside drawers. WIBA? Maybe if on offer. To be honest, I don't have a HG handcream and am happy to buy whatever is on offer or what takes my fancy. My sum UUs and Ins for January are therefore as follows:

Ins (x 19)

Sachet of L'Oreal Derma Genese Day Cream (freebie)
Sachet of L'Oreal Derma Genese Serum (freebie)
Simple Deodrant (necessary replacement)
Baylis & Harding Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Handwash (late Xmas pressie)
Nail polish x 5 (given to me)
Cuticle Cream (given to me)
BS Shea Body Butter 200 ml (late Xmas pressie)
FCUK Body Butter x 2 (minis)
FCUK Body Spray (GWP)
FCUK Bath Syrup (GWP)
FCUK Bath Scrub (GWP)
FCUK Whipped Body Cream (GWP)
Dental Floss (necessary replacement)
Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation 30 ml (freebie)

UUs (x 17)

Sachet of L'Oreal Derma Genese Serum
Sachet of L'Oreal Derma Genese Day Cream
Neals Yard Remedies Nourishing Orange Flower Daily Moisture 25 ml
Tresemme Brunette Shampoo 900 ml
HE Greasy Roots/Dry Ends Regulating Shampoo 400 ml
JF Brilliant Brunette Shine Releasing Moisturising Conditioner
Sachet of Sanctuary Body Scrub 60 ml
Elle MacPherson Replenishing Hand Cream
Champneys Vitamiracle Rejuvenating Body Butter 50 ml
Boots Royal Jelly Body Lotion 30 ml
Dove Visible Effects Body Lotion 50 ml
Simple Deodrant
Tesco Vitamin E Wipes
Dental Floss
No 7 Blissful Body Wash
Paramount Hotels Bath Foam Minis x 2 (used as handwash)

Hmm, so although I don't feel as though I've been particularly naughty, I've ended up with more ins than UUs! And yet I've resisted so much including BS sale and Boots 75% sale (admittedly because there was nothing worth getting in my local store).

3 more ins - Bought 3 more of the dry shampoos seeing as the offer is still on. Got enough to last a good while now!
