I just tried this

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.

I understand. I have exzema on my hands and after years of trying to find something to help, I accidentally figured out the best thing for dry skin was good old baby cream. Nothing else I have tried has worked.

Good tip, thanks. There is a product, I think it is "Udder's cream", which was intended for you guessed it, cow's udders, however, I have had numerous quilters tell me that it really works and keeps your hands soft. I've also used Eucerin cream for rough hands.

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.
