Gardeners hands! Best cream?

    Artjak - you've just reminded me that my dad used to do the sugar thing.  My mum on the other hand (talking back in the early 60's) used to use Pond's 'Vanishing Cream'.  Does anybody remember that?  It always amazed me that when I thought my hands were clean, the vanishing cream seemed to always find just a little more traces or dirt when you didn't expect it.  Don't know if it's still around these days.

    Thank you so much guys, will have a go at all of these one after another, liquid gloves sound good, im a bit of a clean freak, get a bit wound up about dog mess etc, wear those gloves as they dont let water through image



    My hands have become a real problem, thank you all very much x

    I've just remembered a good way of cleaning gardener's hands; mix 1 tsp of sugar with a little liquid soap and rub it well in. It gets rid of all the ground in dirtimage

     

    I do similar....sugar, olive oil, and lemon juice.

    It was meant to image - but I'm serious - you could be in for some lifelong nasty skin conditions if you keep doing that - please don't do it again. ((hugs))
