AKA how to moisturize your hands for free

Lately, due to my job giving me eczema, i am in search for a great super extra heavy moisturising body cream to keep in the locker room, and it has to be absorbed super fast.

I have just realised that is, however, an excuse

I can't help it, if i enter a store with some specialised skincare aisle, i'll go there and try every cream i find testers of. And when my hands and arms can't absorb any more cream, i ask for samples.

I'm a bad girl, most of the creams are just too expensive, so i won't buy them but at least i can compare, and i have already selected a few items i like and would consider worth the investment. and i just like testing stuff

Lipikar from La Roche Posay (body moisturizer, big bottle but expensive!).

The Avène stuff i tried was quite good, but i do'nt like the texture.

a cream from Uriage i have forgotten the name of, and there's the handcream from Weleda (it's light but really moisturising).

My cousin does the same thing with perfumes, lol!

OOh interesting, thanks for the info.

that's a good technique thanks for sharing

I forgot to mention Xerodiane from the brand L.E.D. I got a sample of it and it's great to moisturize your hands, and it absorbs quickly too. Deadly combination when mixed with calamine lotion.

Bump !!

I'll add to my list of good body moisturizers Iso Urea from La Roche Posay. But it has to be applied sparingly because it's a milky texture, and it takes some time to fully sink in the skin. But i still prefer Lipikar.

LOL, what a great idea! Have you tried L'Occitaine's shea butter hand cream? I find that to be super moisturising.

[magosienne]

Yup, it sure is, although i tend to prefer just pure shea butter.

oh I heard this is good stuff. I love La Roche Posay!
I should really invest in a good moisturizer for my hands since I have 2nd and 3rd degree burns on the back of my right hand (accident when I was little) and in winter the skin cracks and dries out bad because of the cold outside and the heaters inside
So right now I just use regular hand cream like at least 5-10times a day, after every time I wash my hands of course.

Isn´t it crazy though that I´d be more than happy to spend $30+ for a bottle of foundation but can´t bring myself to buy a good quality handcream for like $20 for my special-needs hands lol?
