Best Hand/Body Cream for Dry Skin?

[MusicMeg222]

I have very dry skin and can already feel how dry and scratchy my hands are getting as the weather starts getting cooler. Any recommendations for a decent hand or body cream? I don't mind a little fragrance but I'm looking for a quality product that isn't too expensive and that I can use all of the time.

I have tried many. Oils, creams, lotions. But the best body moisturizer is Josie Maran body butter. I bathe lol in it daily. My skin is silky smooth. I also use her face butter. It’s unscented and really moisturizes the skin! For facial cleansing, the oil cleanser is so good! Never dry and tight after cleansing. And it really removes foundation and all that gunk. I could own stock in Josie Maran.

@MusicMeg222 i've been religiously using the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair® Cream Intense Hydration – Face and Body Moisturizer for Skin Repair  for years. I have sensitive skin, and struggled with severe dermatitis (not to get too much into it, but we're talking dry, peeling, awful state of skin). this stuff SAVED me, and it's fragrance free! a tube or tub lasts a long time, and I know there are usually big sizes for an amazing price on sale for black friday! i also really liked the Skinfix Eczema+ Extra Strength Body Cream 8 oz/ 236 mL . Might be a little bit of overkill, but really gets the job done. From the drug store, i find the products marketed for diabetics actually work incredibly well for this purpose (i live with a type one diabetic, and we've tried basically all brands of these at one point or another. they all work very similarly imo)

Hey @MusicMeg222 

I'm so sorry to hear about the winter affecting your skin.

I have super dry skin too! My heels tend to crack during winter and my atopic dermatitis gets intense! here are some of the options that have worked for me:

First thing first: I'm a baddie on a budget. I don't know about you but I go through tubs of body lotions SO QUICK! Here is the cost effective options that works AMAZING on my skin. I even mix it with my Argan oil and it gives me all the glow and hydration:

SEPHORA COLLECTION All Day Body Hydrator with Shea Butter 13.5 oz / 400 mL  Creamy, thick and fast absorbing-- I'm always repurchasing this one. 

the Josie Maran Intensive Daily Repair Body Butter for Eczema, Extra Dry, and Sensitive Skin 6 oz/ 170 g has a similar texture to the SC and has colloidal oatmeal to soothe. It is amazing to calm the skin.

Skinfix Targeted Body Balm 2 oz/ 60 g Do you get dry patches? This one is BOMB to take care of them!

For hands my top pick is Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream they usually have sets for the holidays. Those are bomb and they last.

feeling "I want a. hand mask" type of fancy? The Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Hydra'Reset Intensive Recovery Glycerin Hand Mask 2.5 oz/ 75 mL  catered to all my dry hands need and it made me like fancy for sure!

I hope these options work! Stay glowing ❤️

@MusicMeg222 Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream is amazing!

@MusicMeg222  My body skin's quite dry, including my hands, if I slack on my hydration and moisturization game. Cold weather is when I use a body oil (applied to damp skin) beneath my body lotion/cream. My favorite for body is Neutrogena Body Oil Fragrance Free, which is sesame seed oil. On my hands, I like to use either a 100% rosehip oil or an oil blend that doesn't contain perfuming essential oils. I use oil on my hands year round anyway to keep the skin around my nails healthy. The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL  is a great choice, as is e.l.f. Nourishing Facial Oil. 

I like Eucerin and CeraVe moisturizers for my body during winter. My body skin especially likes Eucerin Roughness Relief Lotion, and sometimes the cream version. 

My hands do well with Skinfix Eczema+ Hand Repair Cream 3 oz/ 89 mL  . And I sometimes use a petrolatum-based balm on my fingertips and even the rest of my hands; my favorite for this is Aquaphor Ointment, but CeraVe Healing Ointment would also work.

@MusicMeg222 @Thirding the L'Occitane Hand Cream Trio and I also like the Clarins Hand & Nail Nourishing Treatment Cream 3.5 oz/ 103 mL  !

My favorite is the Eucerin hand cream that I get at Target or the grocery store. At Sephora, I also like Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultimate Strength Hand Salve  and L'Occitane Nourishing and Protective Shea Butter Hand Cream

@MusicMeg222  I have been using Skinfix Hand Repair Cream 3 oz/ 89 mL  and it has been great.

I second this! The Skinfix line is the one I always reach for in the winter months when my skin gets super dry.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve been looking at this brand for skin care, not thinking for my dry hands, so thank you!
