I've been using Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream for quite a few years. I have one tin in the bathroom, one in my car, one in the bedroom, and one in my purse. First of all, I love the lemony smell. It is truly wonderful, and I actually find myself smelling my hands a little just to enjoy it. When your hands are feeling cracked and tight, this is even better than regular lotion at soothing them, and can be used in a pinch to moisturize small areas.
I don't limit this cream to just my cuticles. Because I do a lot of gardening and working outdoors, my hands get pretty rough. And in the winter, with the cold temperatures arriving, I can count on getting cracked and irritated skin on my knuckles and fingertips. Once a week or so, I buff my nails and then apply this cream to the cuticles, the entire nail, and then the tops of both my hands, including the knuckes and finger tips. It does make my hands kind of "greasy" feeling, but it doesn't last long before the cream is absorbed. I often do this ritual while my husband is driving us somewhere, so I don't need to use my hands much for the 10-15 minutes it takes to absorb. But really, it's not a problem, and I know that it is putting some good stuff into my skin. My hands always feel much better after applying the Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, and then I get to enjoy smelling lemony for a little while, too! :-)
