Currently marigolds or equivalent when I need to wear them.

Also have a look at a barrier lotion called "Gloves in a bottle". Good stuff! Hands recover much more quickly if you use it regularly as per the instructions.

I like the ones from Ann Summers , but the fluffy ones get adhesive on them and are a nightmare to clean

i use chemical resistant ones from screwfix for mixing up bagged adhesive, hate that stuff on my hands, then a tube of hemp cream from body shop hydrates those hands a treat, they also do a shaving cream in a tub which lasts for ages if anyones interested!!!

Yeh they do.......although the adhesive gives you a firmer grip I find

"Multitask"- like a thicker, softer rubber glove which grips well when wet. Also has a knitted liner which absorbs sweat. Get them at Sainsburys. Pale blue hand, with darker blue wrists.

Not tried gloves in a bottle but I also use DermaShield http://www.dermashield.co.uk/
This stuff really IS good. Out of curiousity, I grouted 30sqm on Monday with no gloves, just the Dermashield. Washed my hands that evening expecting dry flaky skin. Smooth as a baby's bum!!!
