  Caleej:

  My hands are seriously raw from washing bottles this winter!  What's everyone's favorite hand lotion out there?  I seriously can't find one to combat my poor dry cracked fingertips!

  You just read my mind! My hands are like a dried up mummy...

  I use pure lanolin, anything with shea butter. Also using dishwashing gloves helps a ton.

  Vaseline (not the cream) works best.  Your hands will be greasy for a while, but it is the best thing.  Second best is Eucerin.

  I can't think of the exact name right now but it is a Bath and Body Works lotion from thier spa line and it contains parafin wax (like the stuff you get during a mani ro pedi).

  This stuff is awesome, but a little greasy, so I put it on at night (last thing before I turn off the light) and I wake up with super soft hands.

  Two things, first to answer I use Eucerin and love it.  My hands are also bleeding right now from being cracked.  Second, the I use playtex with the disposible bottles and it helps reduce the washing.  So much easier just clean the nipple.

  I actually bought a pair of the Playtex Handsaver yellow cleaning gloves and keep them at the sink to use for washing bottles. Hands dont get wet and I dont have to increase my lotion usage or anything. I have already noticed an enormous difference in how much less dry my hands are.

  Personally I like using all natural body/hair oils. Coconut oil and/or Olive oil is great too. an all natural food store or whole foods should be able to point you in the right direction. I use rosemary hair oil, I found in target in the beauty section. It makes my hair & hands super soft. Try switching soaps to something less invasive on your skin too.
