If you live in a place where there are cold winters or that has a dry climate, you are surely always on the lookout for a good, lasting hand moisturizer. Most lotions fail as they are alcohol based and hence always leave you needing more. Two products that are quite reliable for really dry, rough almost alligator-like skin are Glysomed and Herbacin Hand Creams.
