big tub of aqueous cream from the chemist (1.50), mix in some cypress oil and lavender oil..I decant some of the cream into a smaller pot and add the oil, this will work on hands, feet and any dry skin areas, works out very reasonable, and it smells lovely..for men, leave out some of the lavender
I'm working on a honey and aloe one and I have a marigold recipe somewhere if anyone wants it, it's a bit more fiddly though   :)

The sanctuary do a lovely sugar and green tea handscrub. Works a treat and leaves hands lovely and soft too.  :)
Don't throw paper away. There is no away.

Handscrub, barrier cream, ex foliating scrub, kneading dough and my favorite washing woolens. ::) will be my suggestion next time the topic of how  do you keep ya hands clean pops up in conversation down the allotment when me and some of the old boys have a brew..... :-\ on second thoughts think i will stick to good old soap and water and a nailbrush. ;) ;D ;D

Hi Frogslegs,

When I suggested washing woollens I didn't suggest the obvious solution as the person asking the question is in healthcare.

Dark nail varnish.

Perhaps you might like to run that one past the boys

 ;D
is it in the sale?

Nail varnish on men is back in again at the moment, maybe start a new trend on your lot ;)
Whatever it was I didn't do it but if I should have done then I have!
