Hand Cream

[Austin]

Gents, during the winter months my hands get real dry. I wash my hands periodically throughout the day which does not help. Anyway I usually use Jack Black Hand Healer which helps. Nevertheless, the cost of the 3oz tube is about $11. Not very cost effective.

I was at Target about a month ago and noticed that they carried "The Apothecary" brand. I picked up an 8oz jar of Lemon Verbena Hand & Nail Cream. The cost was about $6. I started using it and I must say that I am impressed with this cream. The cream is dense and the scent reminds me of fruit loops. Don't get me wrong I like fruit loops.

The cream is readily absorbed by the skin. I love this scent. I do not find this cream greasy or oily. As much as I wash my hands, I still have to reapply but not as often as Jack Black.

Pick up a jar and I bet you will be impressed.

I forgot to add that this cream has Shea Butter and Vitamins A&E.

Andrew,

I'll have to pick some up for a test run. It is certainly attractively packaged. I'll see how it stacks up to my Corn Huskers Lotion.

I'll have to check it out the next time I'm at Target. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. My hands are a disaster and the L'occitane cream is pricey! I will be getting some of this next time at Le'target.

Scotto got me hooked on the Nancy Boy Lemon Grass hand cream.

I have a TON of the Neutorgena stuff laying around now because I just get intoxicated with how strong the lemon grass scent is when you use this stuff. The cream absorbs so fast - but the scent stays for a while.

I was at Target today and couldn't find any. What department/section are they located at?

I found it in the cosmetics section not the lotion section.

I picked up a bottle of ABRA body lotion in the green tea scent and it works very well for not only the body but hands and cuticle's. Its organic wich I like and has a pleasant scent, absorbs very quickly with no need to reaply until bed time. I beleive I paid a little over $10 for 16oz so its very cost effective.

I tried the Nancy Boy hand cream, didn't like their signature fragrance but I do like the Sweetgrass scent. I've been using this stuff for a couple of weeks now and it's REAL good.

Hey Sean, good to see you again.

I'm a big fan of the Jack Black hand lotion. Very tolerable, barely noticeable smell, no greasy kid stuff on the hands, don't need a lot either.

No I have not.... but throw the name in google.... you'll quickly find it is just about the most world renouned moisturizer brand out there.... by far the best in my opinion. I have literally boxes of stuff I have tried just "sitting around" because it is crap in comparison.

Thanks, Joel. Caswell-Massey had their Lotil Foot Peppermint Cream on sale for half price, and when I remembered to order...it was too late. Currently I'm using Lactinol E, which is a Rx, and even with insurance, expensive. I would like to find something cheaper...maybe even at full price it will be worth it. I'll give it a go.

Is the Lotil cream available locally?

I'm not sure.... don't think so. If anyone were to have it - I would check whole foods.
