Hands

One of the things I've been stressing about lately is a really frivolous one. It's a small thing but it's been bothering me so much ( Read more... )

Haha, Mev has his priorities in place. :P

Have you tried the Gardener's range by Crabtree & Evelyn? I find that the cream is really effective for my super-dry hands and cuticles.

Oops, typo - that should be Merv.

Yup! Wanted to recommended that too!
It's really rich and has shea butter or something. In fact, my sweaty palms can't take it too well as it is so rich. If I use it, i use a small dot and even so, my hands get sweaty especially when it's warm. When I stop, it gets less sweaty :P Strange but I think it's good for dry hands.

My mum gave me some but I haven't been too religious in putting it on! :p

wahahahahah!
merv is hilarious.

but slowly, ok? these things take a bit of time to heal. keep up with the moisturiser and use those gloves. your hands will be back to normal in no time!

Okies, haven't been the most religious but trying!! Heh.

Another thought- have you considered a dishwasher?
It's not the most environmentally friendly solution, but for your business, where you have a lot of dirty dishes to wash, it might be better in the long run.. Just need to rinse off the food or grease and arrange it in the washer. The volume of dishes should be enough for a load.

madmoneymonkey April 15 2010, 05:46:57 UTC

We already have one! But the big pots can't go in and we need to roll dishes along the way. So unfortunately, still have to wash some items by hand.

Haha.. Merv is funny! But i can imagine how horrible the dream is.

Do smack on moisturizer every night before you sleep or get a travel size one and dump it into ur bag. Also, i've to agree that C&E hand cream is good!

madmoneymonkey April 15 2010, 06:01:15 UTC

Good idea about the little travel sized one. Will go get 1! :)

wwenzz April 15 2010, 06:06:58 UTC

Vaseline works too. $2 for a small tub!

witchz April 14 2010, 07:02:37 UTC

LOL! Merv is so funny... I am sure that makes you feel better. :p

I am using the Shea butter hand cream from Loccitane, very rich shea butter and very moisturizing.

do give it a try if u have the chance. :)

madmoneymonkey April 15 2010, 06:03:14 UTC

Wah I always think that Loccitane is quite expensive so I've never walked in! Haha, I shall actually!

witchz April 15 2010, 06:15:35 UTC

not very pricey. think it's 43 for a big tube. quite worth the price. =)
