You can also rub good quality mayonnaise on your hands and rub, rub, rub, for about 15 minutes and it will calm the dry, scaly skin as well.

No! Sorry! The issue is dry, cracked hands. Ask me how I know. I lived on a farm for 50 years, and milked cows and had a garden. Sometimes my fingers bled. Now I use Melaleuca Intensive Skin Therapy. The results are almost instantaneous. Love that stuff. Other people use bag balm. Find something that works for you. And I'm going to try the dryer sheets, too. Even with smooth hands it's sometimes hard to get rid of those pesky little threads.

Jetayre, My pharmacist recommended Euricerin for cracks on my heels, and I have been using it nightly for several years now. Love the results.

I have this same problem (farmer's hands) - thanks for the tip!

Nice to know. I have that problem with dental floss, too. Will have to try. Thanks.

Well, your issue may be dry, cracked hands. I was commenting specifically on the OP's post, where she states that cream doesn't work, but she found that rubbing her hands on a dryer sheet helped tremendously. From these statements I deduced that her issue was more static-related.

Peckish, you are so right. Come winter I'll need a ground wire(grin) as I will get shocks from just about everything I touch. Kinda kinky to brush my hair in the dark and see sparks.

I use Eucerin a lot. I also like A&D diaper rash ointment. Smells weird but it works. I use Satin hands from Mary Kay also. It works and smells good too.
