Reddit reviews Gold Bond Ultimate Intensive Healing Hand Cream 3 oz

Wear gloves every single time, without fail. If you're on your way back from taking out the trash and you spot a couple of weeds, force yourself to go in the house and get the gloves first.

And make sure they're well-fitting gloves, too, not flopping around because they're too big. I have a pair of suede-palm work gloves that are awesome for pulling crabgrass.

Calluses are badges of honor.

Also Gold Bond Blue Label is the shit, especially when cold weather makes things even drier.

I really like Gold Bond's Intensive Healing Hand Cream, it lasts through hand washing and isn't greasy! Other good ones that I've tried are Soap & Glory's Hand Food Cream (smells really good), as well as L'Occitane and eos.

From what I've read online and tried, most Asian hand creams are pretty similar (especially the ones in cute packaging), decent but not great if you have chapped or extremely dry hands. I do want to try Skinfood's Hand Balm though.

I have had brittle, peeling, and breaking nails as a result of biting them for years. I quit biting in high school, but ended up with a chronic cuticle picking habit. Over the past year I have finally found a routine with relatively cheap products that have turned my nails from weak and short to strong and long. Here's the list:

OPI Avoplex Cuticle Oil has honestly saved the condition of my nails more than anything.

Beauty Secrets Black Rectangular Cushion Nail File is what I use to file and shape my nails. The grit is coarse, but doesn't destroy my already weak nails. Plus, it's washable so it lasts forever.

This buffer is the final step I take before applying polish. It prevents bubbles from ruining my polish job.

I absolutely swear by this Nailaid Extreme Steel Hardener. I use it as a top and a base coat for my regular polish. It makes it look like I got a set of gel nails and the color lasts FOREVER.

All of this along with a decent hand lotion like Gold Bond Intensive Healing Hand Cream will have your hands and nails in glorious condition once you develop a regular routine. Good luck!

ER Tech here! my hands get very dry from frequent washing and using the Purell at work. The best hand lotion I have found is from Crabtree & Evelyn. I use the Gardners Hand Therapy and it is like a miracle to my hands. A close second is the Gold Bond intensive moisturizer.

Some people at the hospital like this as well. I havent personally used it, just heard about it. Its a protective barrier that you use to prevent hand washing from drying out your hands.
