my hands do this every winter

It doesn’t hurt but it’s annoying as hell

YES I MOISTURIZE

[u/Fratzenfresse]

This is my moisturizer of choice. It gets absorbed pretty quickly so it’s great when I’m out and don’t wanna have oily skin for 30 minutes. It’s also fairly cheap.

Nice. I'd keep that for the day.

To get rid of the dry skin, at night time I recommend using a slightly heavier moisturiser such as :

Savers link as its usually the cheapest and this is slightly more expensive than Neutrogena, although it will also last a decent amount of time if using it just at night.

Then put these gloves on (or something similar as I think the ones in the link below are probably too small for most men)

The combination gives your hands a chance to recover at night.

During the day don't use fairy to wash your hands, always use real hand wash and then thoroughly dry your hands.

That should make a big difference.

You might also want to use marigolds when doing the washing up / use the dishwasher instead of washing up and the dishwasher uses less water anyway as long as you run it when full not just everyday regardless of how much is in it.

I hope that helps

Working hands has been recommended a lot. I’ll definitely try that

Good luck

Maybe you are allergic to one of the ingredients? In case you want to try another hand lotion (due to possible allergies, or just to see if it makes a difference), I can recommend this one. Friends that avoid hand lotion for the same reason (not wanting oily hands for ages) have approved of it too, and their dry elbows look much better now.

Also, if that doesn't help, maybe try just putting vegetable oil on them for some time. Of course, this takes time and your hands will be oily during that time. So this is more of an intensive treatment done at home.

Bei mir half SebaMed Akut Handcreme mit 5% Urea bzw die intensive Handcreme mit Panthenol Complex.  Bzw Eucerin Aquaphor, aber die nur abends weil die sehr "fettig" ist. Frag in deiner Apotheke. Alles Gute, von einem Spröden zum anderen.

Welcome to the club

[u/WatchOutRadioactiveM → u/Fratzenfresse]

Everyone is giving you awful advice. I have the same issue and this kind of moisturizer just exacerbates the problem.

What you want to use is COCONUT OIL. It is an incredibly substance, it can be used for skin, cooking, and even eaten raw. I bought a 16 oz tub of it at the beginning of January, 2024, and that same tub is still keeping my hands (and elbows for some reason) non-peeled.

Below is the kind I use but I'm sure any coconut oil will help. I hope you see this message, because this will actually fix it for you.
