Now that the weather is getting just a lil cooler at night, I noticed that my hands are starting to get chapped. :(
What are your recommendations for a really good hand lotion?

Shea butter has soothing, moisturizing and protecting effects.

It displays a protecting role against UV rays because of its content in cinnamic acid and can thus be incorporated in solar products. The natural latex contained in shea butter would moreover prevent certain sun allergies. Shea butter also helps cell regeneration and capillary circulation. This favours the healing of small wounds, skin cracks and crevices, and skin ulcers. In the cosmetic field, this property is an asset against skin aging. It has restructuring effects on the epidermis, also on dry and fragile hair. Dry skin, dermatitis, dermatoses, eczema, sun burn, and burns are all helped by natural shea butter.
It has an anti-elastase characteristic which makes it a good active ingredient against stretch marks.
Shea butter can also be used to treat rheumatism and aching muscles, and to ease colds because it decongests nasal mucous tissues.

not sure if you are based in the U.K. But I used to have hands you could cut potatoes with and I used E45 which softened them up completely. I used the cream, not the lotion.

Try Gardener's Hand Therapy from Crabtree & Evelyn. It comes in a small tube (toothpaste like). It does wonders for me.
