What type of hand lotion do y'all use?

Since you're shaking hands a lot, you want to make sure your hands are soft and supple, but at the same time not greasy. Are there any particular brands of hand lotion you would recommend to ensure that your skin texture is suitable for touching? Thanks!

Come live with me for a few months, you force me to do all these things and I cook for you. You won't regret it.

For lotion: Narcisco Rodriguez - Essence. It's unscented so it won't interfere with your perfume/cologne.

I may not be on the Jedi Council, but I sure am great with the Force. See my WSO blog posts
 

my hands have huge calluses on them from lifting. this could easily be resolved by either wearing gloves or probably a lotion, but i rather like them. id rather have them like that, than "soft and supple". but hey, to each his own

I have obscenely dry skin. I have tried tens of types of moisturizer and the company that makes the best moisturizers is L'Occitane. It's expensive but let's be honest, do you guys really care? I will gladly spend $20 for a small ass bottle of hand moisturizer if it works until you wash it off, is non-greasy, non-scented, no sheen, and builds up over time (like with more applications it conditions your skin so the dryness actually gets better and you don't HAVE to do it every day). Hell, using L'Occitane's Shea Butter Milk Soap actually made it so I don't have to use body moisturizer anymore. That is something I would pay 10x what I did for. I hate moisturizing, but my skin will crack, bleed, and flake terribly if I don't. With the soap I don't have to moisturize my body, and with the face cream and hand cream I'm all good.

I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
