I love the Aquaphor too. As a retired nurse I can tell you we used that for the premies skin problems. Also two other suggestions: wear rubber[latex etc] gloves whenever you are putting your hands in water, and two, keep hand lotion by every sink and use it when you wash.

Try some A and D ointment

Bag Balm found in farm stores is wonderful. We got this hint from a man who works with concrete. He says it is only thing that helps. Our son tried it and was amazed.
|
I use Glysomed. It has glycerin, silicone, and chamomile. My hands were so rough I could use them to sand wood but now they are as smooth as a baby's bum. I use it every time I wash my hands. It is made by Blistex in the US so you should be able to get it easily.
It's also good for your feet too. :thumbup: |
Bag Balm stinks is my only complaint.
|
I use Udder cream and put on plastic glove that we use during Mom's personal care. Helps the emolionts to work into the skin. Keep it up for a couple day/night. Should help.
|
Emu oil with vitamin E is very good, no smell, not greasy, but pricey. $12 for 2 oz. bottle. Lasts a long time. PM me if you need info.
|
I use rubber fingers they work great and once a month I wax my hands to keep them soft & use good lotion everyday.
