The winter has given me cracked dry hands.. All the hand creams and moisturisers I use at the moment seem to just sting when I put them on... is there a moisturiser I can use that is effective and also kind to my hands?

Just Vaseline Intensive care is good...or one from Boots in their botanics range. The really really cheap ones can be a bit greasy and don't soak in.

I use Oil of Olay moisturiser for sensitive skin for my face. Never stings and it's really cheap. As for your hands, if they're really sore, try E45 cream.

Use what Norwegian fishermen use... it's called Neutrogena 'Norwegian Formula concentrated Hand Cream'. You only need as small amount (so it's effectively very cheap because it lasts so long). Otherwise, use Nivea cream. Both available from any decent pharmacy.

Atrixo or Nivea are good and cheap. The best, for seriously dry or cracked hands, is Neutrogena which is a heavy duty remedy. But a liberal slop of Atrixo or Nivea should be good.

I use just normal vaseline, just a little bit so doesn't leave hands feeling greasy, find it better than all the hand creams I've tried

Hiya
The best that I can recommend for hands in poor condition is actually foot creme. Try to find one with bee's wax (maybe Burt's Bees have one). I normally import mine from Switzerland (Pedic range from MIGROS).
For me foot creme doesn't make my hands "addicted" and even drier like the emost expensive hand cremes do.
Good luck

apply petroleum jelly or olive oil before going to bed. Day time use cream contains vitamin E

I use Atrixo, always have. But you could apply a spot of baby oil when your hands are still wet, then dry them with the oil on.
