I also use Neutrogena hand cream. My hands are in water all the time as I am a hair dresser and they get very dry because of all the chemicals I use. This is the only hand cream that really works. and does't stay on top of your hands so you can handle your quilts and not worry.

I have very dry hands, my sweet mother passed 2 years ago - her whole body was dry (she wouldn't drink water!), so we've tried a lot of things:
a little Vaseline on moist hands, rubs in well;
if I'm doing gloves over night I use the disposable latex gloves used for painting, etc;
Surgeon's Secret is wonderful;
one of my all time favorites is from the crazy lady Joan Rivers - her Absolutely Magic hand cream - it's the best! Her Absolutely Magic foot cream is too but I can't find it anywhere any more! The foot cream has dimethicone in it, so if you find hand cream with that as an ingredient, should be very healing.

All ingredients are Dollar Store General Brand. You may find the vitamin E cream and Vaseline in smaller jars but use 16oz each.
The clean up is quick and not messy.
Bottle of Baby Lotion (16 ounces)
Jar of Vitamin E Cream (16 ounces)
Jar of Vaseline (16 ounces)
Mix all together with mixer until light and creamy and put in containers.

I like a bottle of pink baby lotion (16 oz), an 8 oz jar of Vitamin E cream and a large bottle of Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion. Stir it all together and it is kind of a disappearing lotion, no greasiness and it smells great. Keep your Vitamin E cream jar and your bottles from the lotions to put it back in unless you have some other handier containers.
