i'm using Haven Scent handcream. It rather thick so a little goes a long way, and you only need to apply once or twice in a day. the effect stays even after washing your hands. but the essential oil's smell is very strong. my collegues always knows when i'm using it, one remarked that it smell like bandung drink.

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.
