Keep hard-working hands happy with these tips and good value products . . . 

CLEAN UP ON HAND CARE: Wear rubber gloves washing-up. This will protect your skin from dirt, detergent and chemicals.

A washing up liquid for sensitive skin should be kinder to hardworking hands. Surecare’s version, £1.35 for 450ml from Tesco, has the Allergy UK seal of approval.

You can splash out on Nails Inc Thirsty Hands Super Hydrating Hand Mask, £5, or save cash with Tesco’s coconut and Argan oil moisturising hand mask, £2.

CREAM OF THE CROP: There are hundreds of hand creams available but how do you know which are any good?

One that gets consistently good reviews is O’Keeffe’s Working Hands cream, 96g, down from £9 to £6 at Asda.

DIG DEEP: Gardeners need to protect their hands whatever the weather. Head to Robert Dyas for a two pack of Town & Country Suregrip gardening gloves, down from £7.99 to £5.99 for both men’s and women’s designs.
