I try to use thick lotions for my hands but when I was younger I ended up getting frost bitten pretty bad. Now when its even a little chilly out they peel. Anyone with some suggestions more than just thick lotion?

Have you tried vasoline? That may help...

I do have dry hands also especially when winter comes around. I use Lubiderm for dry skin. It works well for me

Lubriderm has some good acting ingredients, in it and does help with average dry skin. If you have peeling hands, you might want to talk to a Dr. Don't use Vasoline, it is made from petroleum products and can actually make your dry hands progress.

Good old Pond's cold cream is a keeper.

Vaseline has worked for me as well as AD&D ointment. I have used different variations , not all of them smell good.

Try Aveeno skin lotions. Most of the others mentioned here stayed on top of my skin and felt greasy no matter who much I rubbed it in or how long I waved them in the air to dry them off.

Aveeno feels as if it is absorbed right away. My hands don't feel greasy and they stay moisturized.

Vaseline is my go-to solution for dry or peeling skin. Cassie said not to use it, but my doctor recommended and it's been really helpful for me. Vaseline also had a lotion mix they offer now, which is a really, really thick lotion, but not as oily as Vaseline itself. I absolutely love it and don't struggle with dry skin hardly at all any more.
