I like Badger Balm the best. I also use Oregon Soap Company's Sunflower Suds foaming hand soap, which has made a HUGE difference just on its own.

Should always use Cream and not lotion,lotion has alcohol in it.this might sound strange but I have heard it works rub your hands with olive oil at nite before bed and wear gloves.

I use extra strength intensive cream from Avon, its in a jar like cold cream and it soaks in real good and works fast. I also put it on my feet lavishly and put on special socks from the dollar store before bed each nite, feet are much better and no cracking.

Renew by Melaleuca is my favorite - nongreasy, absorbs well, does the job.

I use the Udder Cream for feet on my hands. You know how bad mine got the last two winters with all the bathing and water I was in all day for Roy. It made it super easy at night to work into my feet after shower and hands at the same time. :wink:

I have found that the Green Tin found in many quilt shops and also Drug Stores, called Bag Balm is the best there is for healing cracked skin on hands, and feet.

Love it would not be without it ever. Used it for many years and have found nothing better so far.

The best I ever found is Neutrogena & Sally Hansen Apricot cuticle cream. Use to work in flower shop & my hands very always dry & fingers would split. Doctor told me to glue split with super glue. It forms a shield over split & holds it together till it heals in a few days. Just be careful you don't glue fingers together. Had a friend that was an army medic tell me that super glue is what they used in the field for wounds till they got back to hospital. Hoofmaker is great but it makes your finger tips tough (not dry) as a boot. Really thickens the skin. I feel for you. You are where it gets awful cold, I would die there. My skin starts getting bad when the leaves start turning. I know weird.

My family also suffers from eczema, especially on our hands. My daughter's dermatologist recommended using Ceravae, found at
Walgreens or Rite-aid. I absolutely love using Neutrogena hand cream
for every day use. It's the best thing I've found out there by far!!!
