Put lotion on at night. Then put a pair of socks on your hands. Sleep like that. By morning... New hands.

Rub in just plain old crisco( not butter flavor"). It's cheap,odorless,and works great.

Yes, I experience dryness of my hands when I quilt. I found that putting petroleum jelly on my hands with a pair of cotton gloves helps. The spray is something I have not seen but will look for it.

I'm cheap. I just rub in some olive oil and let it soak in overnight. On the show " She's Crafty" they showed putting Crisco on your hands and forearms, covering it with a plastic bag and soaking in hot water (think of a paraffin treatment without the mess).

There are lots of good suggestions here. My 85 year old mother's doc told her to avoid any hand creams/moisturizers that contained cetyl alcohol...or any kind of alcohol. She has been happy with the "Kiss My Face" brand and I like the Udder Cream. No alcohol in either.

Bag Balm is what I use also. You may have to WARE SOCKS AND gloves to bed. Very romantic!!!

I've been doing the Bag Balm with socks and gloves at night for nearly a couple weeks and notice a huge difference.

I always keep a bottle of hand lotion next to my sewing machine. I try to put lotion on my hands at least once an hour. It definitely helps fabric from slipping through my fingers.

I actually developed allergic eczema from all the chemicals, I use gloves and put a prescription cream under bandaids but it helps a lot, flannel and burlap are the worst nous true suckers....

I handle paper all day, wash my hands a LOT at work (work in a dental office at the front counter, so lots of people, sick & well), and have thick flannel sheets on our bed in winter (which draw out moisture), so my hands are very dry. Started using plain old Vaseline on my hands several weeks ago before getting into bed at night, and what a difference!
