A different suggestion - your diet. Are you eating good fats? It will help your skin. Also my sister is a mail carrier, and gets cracked bleeding fingers each winter - this year she has added Vit.C to her diet every day - and so far - no cracks! I've been taking a good pro-botic every day - and I usually have cracked heels, and so far none. Also I'm making sure I get 4 - 6 healthy fats a day.
