What is the best hand repair cream for bleach and shampoo affected hands?
I work in a pet store, and my hands are constantly exposed to bleach, and dog shampoo (Kelco products to be exact), and now my knuckles and hands are starting to be scaly and dry. So far I’ve tried gold bond clinically dry lotion, and burt’s bees almond milk (the latter is preferred right now). Are there any suggestions for chemically affected hands?

I occasionally work as a waitress and dishwasher for a small company, and every time i get off work, my hands are dry and scaly–they’ve gotten so bad they’ve cracked and bled before. I use gold bond with aloe most of the time, but I’ve also used Eucerin creme (creme is better because it lacks the alcohol used in lotion to thin it, making it more concentrated) and shea butter. Aveda also has a lotion called (I believe) Hand Relief–it smells lovely and works very well.
I don’t have any recommendations for the bleach in particular, but I hope this helps. :]

This may sound crazy but it works. After your evening shower apply vaseline to your hands, put on a pair of surgical gloves and shallow soak your glove covered hands in very warm water.Sleep in the gloves. Give it a few days. You will see a change.

1. Wash your hands with warm water this protect your skin from dryness and skin toning
2. Wear gloves while washing vessel or clothes or else apply a cleansing moisturizer or lotion of a much known product.
3. In olden days people use to apply butter to the hands which keeps there hands forever beautiful.
4. Do manicure at least once in a month.
