One glove...creepy

Two gloves...elegant
 
LL, Neutrogena's Norweigean (sp) moisturizer works well, as does Burt's Bees products and Lubriderm. The trick to reduce the greasy feeling is to start with a very small amount and let it be absorbed into your skin. (only minimizes; you can't entirely get rid of the slick feel for the big-guns moisturizer products :( ).

Also, use milder cleansers--the French milled soaps with olive oil are the best. Do you have a Tuesday Morning or TJ Maxx by you? They always have imported high-fat soaps that cost about $3-4, as opposed to double that in specialty shops. The mass-produced soaps that you get at the drug and grocery stores are too harsh for this time of year and contribute to the cracked, dry skin.

Those of us in the frozen north and midwest sympathize! Winter is the worst on skin.
 
Thanks people!

Sorry LL, I know this is serious. but this is "cracking" me up! (Or as serious as anything can be around here! :blink: )
 
burts bees....we can't live with out it!!!!

Landlocked....when I took my son to the doc (ok he lives next door) he said the soap you use to wash your hands should be very mild, like the soap in a public restroom would be terrible on your hands...makes it worse

he told me to buy hydrocortisone plus..with aloe, maximum strength...it has worked wonders in two days.

Not on a dude
 
Ok. Here's what you do.

Get a jar of Vaseline and cover your hands in it. Then put socks on your hands and sleep with your hands in socks.
