Help! Dry/Itchy Hands

CapricornLass

If you need something now, and cant get out of the house, maybe try a little (and I mean a little!) olive oil, masage it into your fingers, and let it soak in - perhaps just before bedtime.  It should help with the moisturising, and there's a fair chance you already have some in your kitchen cupboard.

Sunflower oil will also help.

Thats the one that a dermatologist recommended to my husband when he got cement hacks. I recommended it to a new starter where I work, her hand were bleeding from being in water so long, they cleared up within a week

This one with the blue lid is scented (some people find the perfume can aggravate), the one with the red lid is the unscented version.

Stop using sanitiser.
Sanitiser strips the natural oils and good bacteria from your skin and can cause more health problems in the long run.

So does soap (the proper stuff, not so much handwash)! And there are many situations when washing hands is impractical so sanitiser is the only option.
