I use a day cream that has an SPF of 15 and in the summer a special facial sun cream with an SPF of 50.

But does anyone know of a resonably priced hand cream with a built in SPF ?
My hands tend to dry out Im always out and about with the dogs and Id like a hand cream that protects them from the elements..

Vinegar is acetic acid. I reckon it would strip the oils from your skin.

It definitely helps with cuts, bruises, and dry skin! I should be a spokesperson because I use it alot. My long-time friend, John Cleese uses it as well. OK, I may have stretched the point, but it's good stuff.

Cass could do that and then maybe put some sunscreen over it after it dries.

I'm not sure about hand creams with spf in it, but I do notice a lot of natural suntan lotions have ingredients in it that work for also moisturizing your skin, so maybe just look into a natural suntan lotion to use on your hands.

Might even be able to make your own at home!

This is one I found: www.diynatural.com/homemade-sunscreen/

No vineger for me... Cleaning with it is fine..I dont have dry skin perse its that constant exposure to the sun and other elements that worry me and I just wondered if instead of using ordinary hand cream there might be one with an SPF in it..

Do like the idea of making my own though!
