What about Dried Hands?!


Question: What about Dried Hands?
Okay, my knuckles have been INCREDIBLY dry lately, I keep putting lotion on them but they seem to just keep drying out...
What should I do? And "secret" remedies? Any brand of lotion to get? What time should I put lotion on? Ect Ect Ect...

Thanks...

Answers:

I had the same problem. I bought lots of expensive creams and lotions, but nothing really worked. I find out two the best ways:
1. Warm up a little bit of olive oil (just WARM up to do not burn your hands) and rub into you hands. Do it 2-3 times a day. If you can't do it so often, do it before go to bed. Also you can rub in oil and put on rubber gloves and keep them on for a 15-20 minutes.
2. Rub on your hands almond oil. It works very good as well.



Aveeno is my favorite. Put it one many times a day. After you wash your hands don't dry them completely and put lotion on. Having them slightly wet still will help absorb the moisture. Also after a shower your pores are the most open so that is also a good time to wear lotion. At night put on some lotion and a pair of gloves to lock the moisture in.
Hope this helps



Get yourself a juicer and drink plenty of raw carrot juice. Minimum of 16 oz per day up to 6 or 8 pints. Get the book by N.W. Walker D. Sc. Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices either online or at any Natual Health food store. It will also give you a lot of other benefits.

N.W. Walker D. Sc. Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices - pages 26 to 32 on Raw Carrot juice (the reference to dry skin is on page 28.



Try Eucerin, it is very thick but excellent for dry skin. My daughter has very dry skin and eczema and it works wonders. Like I said its very thick so I would put gloves on like the other poster said and wear them all night to soak in. Or apply less more often throughout day. Best on right after you wash hands. Try also Ivory soap and Ivory dish soap. Good luck!
