My hands are really bad as like all of you I’m constantly washing them.

Can anybody recommend a really good hand wash that won’t dry you out and a good hand cream.

A client mentioned that my hands feel like sandpaper.

I used to have scary cheese grater paws too! We're washing off the nasties and also our friendly bacteria and natural oils which causes problems! Try a neutral pH soap like Dove (pH7). Or you could use a 100% olive castille soap, (pH8.9) these don't create suds, it's mild but cleans perfectly. Avoid alcohol sprays or wipes,try no-alcohol 'No-Germs spray' (anti-viral anti-bacterial).  I agree Sin...anything with at least 10% urea (synthetic piss). I go hardcore with Flexitol hardcore heel balm 25% urea. Buying a monster tub from Ebay this week. Softens you up like the inside of a hampsters ear.

Aveeno is fab! I used to get eczema on my legs I use this and it never came back, they recommend it in skin clinic, they do it in hand cream to.  You can buy it in Boots and Superdrug.

Another vote for Avenno here!

I like Aveeno, too, but if you've become reactive I'd recommend investing in some Dermalex. As said, also think about the soap you use, and wear gloves for cleaning and washing up etc.

Hemp hand cream from the Body Shop is ace.

Or Atrixo hand cream available in most supermarkets plus Boots/pound shops etc.

I also find piling steroid cream on for just one night clears mine right up if it’s cracking but Iv used the last of mine. Doctors are always reluctant to let go of it

Personally I would worry that using steroid cream is just too extreme.  It can't be good for the health.

However everybody is different including our skin.
