i second crabtree and evelyn hand therapy series. fantastic. they have a small trial pack which consists of both the scrub n handcream.
alternatively, i use Anna Sui hand and nail cream too.
works well for me.

Jurlique and Crabtree & Evelyn's hand creams are good. For severe dry and flaky hands - especially for those who are in jobs that involves the use of harsh chemicals/antiseptics on hands - I prefer to use borage oil or almond oil as moisturizing agents.

Was in Bath & Body works recently in US but there was such a wide range that I did not know what I should be getting. Their sizes are big, I felt.
I will much prefer the sizes like Crabtree & Evelyn...
Aw..if I had posted this question earlier, I might be able to get those hand creams from there...:)

I find Jurlique abit over-priced for a hand cream though. Prob its just me. Hee...
Hey! What is borage oil?
Isn't using oil kinda oily?
I bought Burt Bee's hand salve but find it too oily. The size is big, yet to finish half of it. Ha..
Bought Crabtree & Loccitance hand creams recently, hope its good. :)

Well, Jurlique is a bit on the over-priced side, I'm probably just fooled by the lovely names and marketing ploys in print when I buy the, :D I use it on days when I'm not working.
Borage oil gets absorbed pretty quickly, so I hardly have oily hands. Sometimes, I worry the amount I use isn't enough, but so far, I have never returned from work with flaky, dry, itchy hands since I started using it. I buy the supplement capsules and poke them open for the oil.
