Lixy, I make my own hand creams, but you're just too far away to pop round and pick up a pot!

However, sweet almond oil is notoriously good for the hands and fingernails, as is cocoa butter, so look for creams which contain those two ingredients. I personally, avoid vaseline and mineral oil like the plague, since they are products which are made from crude oil (eeeewwww) and they are waterproof, which means they can actually prevent moisture from reaching the skin cells.

Other things that will help your nails are making sure that you use rubber gloves when doing the dishes, wearing gloves outside to prevent your hands from chapping, making sure you have enough calcium in your diet (particularly important for women, anyway, of course, to prevent osteoporosis) and massaging your cuticles regularly to ensure good circulation. When you're watching TV at night, or when you're a passenger in a car, or on the phone etc, just gently massage your fingers, especially the very top knuckle. This will also help to prevent fluid retention in your fingers and generally feels yummy. If you have some hand cream you can use at the same time, all the better.
