one day last week,Dr Oz(my favorite doctor) suggested just plain old Crisco(solid form) I ,had terribly dry elbows and nails, in less than a week, a big difference.I just rub it on in the the evening while watching tv.

Aquaphor is great for everything from sore hands, cracked heels to chapped lips. My doctor even told me that she puts it all over her face before walking outside (prevents chafing). Medical wonder- next to aspirin!

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.
