Default Gardener's hands

Does anyone have any ideas for hand care/rejuvination? I do wear
gloves but the hands still get ingrained dirt and look foul.


Barrier cream before getting hands dirty - E45 cream or 'diprobase'
cream (pharmacy - cheap unperfumed non-lanolin base cream for eczema).
Works well when tinkering with oily bits on cars too.

Cheers,

Phil.
