I like the finger paste better than the creme..

azcarnut Champion Author Phoenix Posts:1,543 Points:154,055 Joined:May 2008	Message Posted: Jan 2, 2009 10:51:47 AM Ignore azcarnut Report Abuse I've had dry skin, on my hands, for years. A Dr. once told me that us "guy's" should stay away from lotions with Lanolin. Because of the different body chemistry men-women, Lanolin is ok for women, but not men. "Suave-Advanced Therapy" seems to work good for me. It's priced reasonable, and available about anywhere.

I purchase it on sale with a coupon. I have found that if you use lotions when your skin is still moist from showering or doing dishes, it works much easier than trying to penetrate tough dry skin.

Trying something for the feet now that was recommended by Dr Oz. Will report back if it works.

I too have terribly dry hands and feet.. I alternate between Nexcare Advanced Kkin Cram, and Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion. Both are Great, and work even better when I use one one day, and the other the next... Hope this helps..
