Hand and forearm protection

so far, the best moisturizer I have found is Aquaphor. But this is quite thick and greasy.

Any suggestions?

I keep a small pump bottle of avocado oil, mildly scented with my favorite aromatherapy (sandalwood) next to my hand washing sink. It only takes a small application and absorbs quickly. My hands are always soft and never greasy. Love the barely there scent.

Thank you Cynthia, that should be a healthy approach to the problem.

Hi hope your skin is doing better. I use a product that a nurse who is a client suggested to me.

AmLactic....it is sold at WALGREENS. It has lactic acid and worked wonders quickly, Expensive but non greasy and if you live in a colder climate very healing for cold cracked skin. Thanks and best.
