i have VERY dry flaky skin, on the right hand (not palm) on fingers and around knuckles.
not much on left hand only slight.


any thing to deter it, i'm not too keen on using creams, i don't know why maybe cos i don't want to depend on them for the rest of my life

Deal with it or use a cream for a while.....Nivea Soft in a tub works a treat for me!

i have bad skin on my hands which is often a result of washing my car too much! the soap dries my skin out so i now wear gloves, and just a little nivea cream in the morning if it feels dry

I use clinique for men, makes me look and feel 10 years younger

I had dry skin on my hands while on chemo which was a nuisance because it was difficult to hold things and easy to drop them. I found that E45 cream worked well for that.

I had really bad skin cracks and and callouses on my fingers, especially during winter. Found the only way to treat them was Neutragena hand cream.

And I recommend to wear gloves when working on cars because I'm 100% sure that's what caused it (calloused only on thumb and forefinger in the places where I used to turn bolts)

Dont see the problem in using a moisturiser. Its the quickest and easiest solution.

Jamie

Have a wash

I've used Clinique skin care for men for years now......nothing gay about looking after yourself!

Do you use the daily eye hydrator too?

A vote for Clarins over here, true its a bit Metrosexual but if being a bloke simply being Neanderthal with bad skin then count me out, I will be a Neanderthal with nice smooth skin that doesnt itch or flake.

My missus got me onto it, expensive habit at 20 quid a go, the Nivea stuff smells like lard in comparison.

Right, I am off down Canal Street anyone coming.....

I use the BOSS for men eye reviver, not as oily as clinique and absorbs easier

How GAY are we

.....Wait for me, I'm just putting some lip balm on

I like Oran Utangs blood Damn... wrong thread

I actually use nivea stuff on my hands when needed. I mountain bike in all weathers which I dont think helps and I once washed some dishes in 1998...

It's fun to stay at the Y M C A

andythejock01wrx

LOL. I do the same. I just think of it as a tanning effect !!

StickyMicky

my hands get moisturised about 4/5 times a day TBH

anything less and the skin dries out, and starts to crack and bleed
but we use chemicals all day long that dry out skin, so cant complain really

have to add, we don't use any poncey nivia crap here


asda smart price moisturiser ahoy there

E45 is brilliant. Keep away from any "perfumed" moisturisers. Have been using E45 for a couple of years, I was invloved in a RTA and suffered from 45% burns. Have been using E45 since with no complaints.

Leslie

What I said on that other thread was right then.

I use Clinique stuff, it's not cheap but luckily my sister works for them and gets 70% off, whcih makes it about the same price as ASDA's stuff.

JamieMacdonald

Well um, yeah I do actually. What else am I meant to do with it?!

wwp8
