Depends how bad your hands get! Must admit, with combination of gardening and housework, mine can get pretty rough. Found a cream that is dear (about £6 I think) but works particularly for those nasty areas on pads of thumbs and sides of fingers that get almost callussed. Called Flexitol Heel Balm. Its meant for putting on dry, cracked heels, and works on them too. Got it from a Lloyds chemist, and once you start using it, and get your hands back to how they should be, you don't have to use very much after that.
