Dry Hands

[TinkerbellSwt]

I have been having an issue with my hands and being dry. This year has been particulary worse than previous years. I think it may have something to do with my celiacs.

My question is what type of over the counter lotions can I use to help with the dryness? I dont know which lotions are safe.

Any help would be appreciated!

I use Vaseline Healthy Hand & Nail. It absorbs quickly, and strenthens nails - and of course, it is gluten-free.

Vaseline lotions are gluten-free.

Johnson's Softlotion Creamy Moisturizing Oil is gluten-free--and nice, not greasy. California Baby's Sensitive Body Lotion is good, too.

I use the neutrogena hand cream, I've found nothing that works better! You don't need much and it works!

Most Lame Advertisement lotions are gluten free and they don't contain lanolin (which, believe it or not, is a common skin irritant). My SIL is/was a consultant and she checked with them on gluten content and she came back to me with a big list of gluten-free products. I wish I still had it.

I switched to 'natural' products when I went gluten-free, and you would have to order it online--but I love the Tropical Traditions lotions. I get very dry hands that crack and bleed in the winter and this lotion has made a big improvement. Love it ! Open Original Shared Link I bought the lavendar and rub it in every night before I go to bed. I use it every night, but I still have more left in the jar and I ordered it probably 10 mos or so ago...

Thanks for all the help!

My hands are always dry also. I know it's because I am constantly washing them to avoid cross contamination. I wash them after feeding the dog, giving her a bone, before preparing meals, and of course when I go to the bathroom. I can't tell you how many paper towels I have used, so I don't risk getting gluten on my towels, soap, or the knobs on the sink. Is this over doing it a little bit, or what?

I use Vaseline products also.

I have extremely dry skin and use Vaseline Intensive Skin Therapy and Burt's Bees Hand Salve. Both are amazing!

FYI - I had been using Vaseline Intensive Care Total Moisture for dry skin and it contains "Avena Sativa (oat)" so I don't think all the vaseline lotions are gluten-free...
