have you tried vaseline intensive care?
that works pretty well for me.also plain vitamin E
cream is good.made my hands real smooth.mine get cracked from being in water all the time otherwise.


myLot reputation of 89/100. dangnabit67 (558)   ranked 8 out of 234 in make up  2 years ago

Ive tried it but I think it doesnt stay on long enough with my job to do much good. I should have added that in-LOL I work as a cashier-dirty money and germs galore. So I use hand sanitizer-that stuff really dries your hands.

I take a muli-vitamin when I can happy

Vaseline Intensive Care or Lubriderm. Either one works wonders! (I have OCD; I should know).


myLot reputation of 89/100. dangnabit67 (558)   ranked 8 out of 234 in make up  2 years ago

May I ask what OCD is? Lubriderm is ok. I part of my problem is I dont give a product enough time to see if it works before I move on to something differnt. Thank you.


myLot reputation of 92/100. ihearttinytim (448)   ranked 89 out of 234 in make up  2 years ago

OCD= Obssessive Compulsive Disorder. Most who suffer from this wash their hands too often.


myLot reputation of 89/100. dangnabit67 (558)   ranked 8 out of 234 in make up  2 years ago

I wash mine alot but its because of the customers I have to wait on.

Hugs to you. I know its not easy.

Yikes! Now I am convinced I'm an OC. That explains why my hands are not as soft as a baby even if I'm not doing some household chores compared to my friends.

You really need to start drinking lots of water. Your skin if it is cracking is dehydrated severly. I had this problem once & once i started drinking tons of water my skin quit cracking.. I know it hurts too & you can get all kinds of bacteria in the skin so be careful...Lori

It figures I hate water-LOL But I probably dont drink enough water-dang it.

i was told by a dermotologist to use Cetaphil lotion. it is suppose to be very good for dry skin.


myLot reputation of 89/100. dangnabit67 (558)   ranked 8 out of 234 in make up  2 years ago

Thank you. It is one that I havent tried yet.

Try looking for hand lotion or hand gel in some cosmetic store that has Moisturizer. It helps dry skin to smoothen or what. I've always been using alcohol actually instead of hand gel and my alcohol has moisturizer in it.


myLot reputation of 89/100. dangnabit67 (558)   ranked 8 out of 234 in make up  2 years ago

Most everyting says it will moisturize and usually doesnt work. Thank you.

Have you tried pure shea butter? How about apricot oil or jojoba oil?


myLot reputation of 89/100. dangnabit67 (558)   ranked 8 out of 234 in make up  1 year ago

Where can I find these products?

Aveeno lotion for Dry skin works good for me!


myLot reputation of 89/100. dangnabit67 (558)   ranked 8 out of 234 in make up  1 year ago

I havent tried this kind. Thank you for the suggestion.

hey i had exactly the same problem and it was horrible, it was reallyuncomfortable till i stopped using scented creams. They make no sense but smell good. The best thing i would say would be vasaline. It really works. Especially before you go to bed and in the morning after your shower. Try it out sure it should work for you.


myLot reputation of 89/100. dangnabit67 (558)   ranked 8 out of 234 in make up  1 year ago

Do you just put rub the vasaline in or is this a type of lotion?

If your hand is really Dry then you could try the Petroleum Jelly everyday and if you will feel it a little bit better than before then try the Vaseline lotion........


myLot reputation of 89/100. dangnabit67 (558)   ranked 8 out of 234 in make up  1 year ago

with the jelly its really greasy-you do that at night with a glove on?


myLot reputation of 88/100. potrish78 (402)  1 year ago

I agree! petroleum jelly helps specially for very very dry skin. Don't worry about the greasy after feel, you would only use petroleum jelly at night before bedtime it should not bother you. I've been using it for my feet since I always wear sandals at work and my work really requires me to walk most of the time. So imagine how dry my feet could be. Only petroleum jelly helped even with the cracked heels. Good luck in your search!

I really recommend The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector. You only need to use small amount and this will really help to soften your hands. You can also get some cotton gloves to wear with the cream overnight.
