Suggestions for HandCreams

[cinnybuns]

Hi guys,

I need info/suggestions as to what handcreams I should use to make them smooth and even tone.

I use to work at a job that my hands were constantly working with heat and water

I noticed areas around my knuckle joints are darker in pigment than the rest of my hands, and also I can see the lines/wrinkels on them (i'm 24 btw)

What products should I use to make them smooth??

I'm open to homemade products as well.

First thing you need is a barrier cream, this protects your hands from the water and heat. Stolkhome has a good one and for a cheaper alternative go to the baby aisle and get a barrier cream there.
Sally Hansen has one(hand cream) that is really quite good. And its is made for your type of problem, invest in some moisturizing glove, put a large amount of the hand cream on then the gloves. Leave on overnight try to do this at least twice a week. And just follow up with a good handcream everytime you think of Curel is really good. Good Luck let me know if this helps you.

Vaseline do good hand creams.
Look out for Vaseline intensive care next time you are in the shops. They come with nice fragrances too
