I find latex gloves make my hands sweat and as I have an occasional attack of peeling skin..(an old attack caused by welding damage to skin)... I need some protection. I use Neutrogena hand cream instead for any gardening ( and thick gloves for rough work) and save the latex gloves for garage work or painting...

Neutrogena seems to moisten the skin and makes cleaning much easier...and I only buy it when Morrisons have a bogoff offer as it is £3.30 odd a tube.. altho' a little goes a long way.
E45 cream is not as good imo..

Another alternative is cotton gloves.
Boots stock them. Washable and would last longer depending on what you are doing.

The £1 shop sells cheap gloves, different types, mind you with some of them you need a small hand, I cann't bear the feel of soil on my hands so use gloves all the time,white cotton some times and then wash them, I like the feel of bought compost or riddled home saved leafmould lovely stuff.
