Hand cream

[jack]

I got some generic moisturiser from Tesco and in the short term it helped a lot. If it doesn't solve the problem I'll see if I can get something more heavyweight.

Looking at my hands I'm a little shocked at how cracked they'd got. I'd mentally consigned this to the category of "little things to sort out when I have time, after all, other people have real problems, surely I shouldn't complain about some cracked skin". But it did look a bit like I beat up a brick wall in a boxing match :)

I still only have a partial understanding of what constitutes "moisturiser"/"aqueous"/"emollient" and which brands are fall under one general umbrella term, and which brands represent something qualitatively different.

The main thing I've found with hand creams, is to make sure they don't have alcohol in them, as it dries out your skin, and thus tends not to solve the problem.
