Le Couvent Des Minimes Honey & Shea Repairing Hand Cream
One of the best habits I've taken up this winter is the religious use of hand cream. Every night before I go to sleep, I rub Le Couvent Des Minimes Honey & Shea Repairing Hand Cream (a PR freebie) into my paws. In winters past, my hands would get horribly dry and crack painfully where my fingers meet. Not so this winter.
Bonus: This stuff, which comes from Provence (the line was founded there in 1862), reminds me of the happy days I have spent taking it easy in the French Alps. Provençal memories are some of the best to go to sleep with, that's for sure.
I adore the brand's honey & shea lip balm

sounds good!
i don't quite have the crackly hands but i do get ugly dry cuticles and what's helped me out this winter is the Rosewater hand cream by Crabtree & Evelyn. A christmas present that l think I'll be able to enjoy for at least two winters. It's 100ml in size and a little bit goes a long way. Did I mention that it smells ultra feminine with it's light scent?? Yes, it's wonderful!

I have this hand cream as well, it's great! It smells delicious, like fresh honey :)

I've also become a big handcream fan, mainly because I've been looking at them and thinking, 'damn! My hands are showing my age!'
