I have been plagued with dry fingers all of my life. They get so bad that they crack open and bleed. I heard about a cream called O'Keefes working hands cream. They sell it at Lowes. It is about 7.50 per container. It is sold near the paint counter with all of the solvents. It is the greatest stuff. My fingers are no longer cracked and sore and best of all, it doesn't hurt when I am trying to hand sew.

I use Bag Balm. I think it is the same as udder cream. They sell it here in New England in the quilt shops.

Corn Huskers Lotion especially at night with gloves on while sleeping. And if I remember, plastic gloves when working outside under my warm gloves and inside when cleaning.

'Gloves In A Bottle' is a terrific product! Sometimes Walgreens will carry it so I stock up when I find it. There is a store locator and details on the product on their website: http://www.glovesinabottle.com/ I live in Colorado where the air is unbeleivabley dry. Until I found this product, I spent every winter with bandaids on half my finger tips from cracked skin!

I use bag balm with gloves on at night.

I put on the balm for cracked heels and wear cotton gloves over it when I go to bed. As I've had a genetic dry skin condition, naturally all my life, I find this works as I am sensitive to soap and perfumes, let alone harsh chemicals.

File your skin with a nail file then use a very good, heavy duty, perfume free hand cream. Especially use it every night. I really like "The Honey Guy" hand cream. It even works for people who have excema. You can get it on line. It's the best I've ever used.

I use castor oil, it heals from the inside out, a little goes a long way. When the girls were little and we lived in Missouri, I used it in winter to take the reddness out of their cheeks.

I have bag balm, udder cream, coco butter, some stuff used for diabetic for their feet. I dont' really need then all the time but every now and then my hands and feet get dry and i will use any of the above.

Slather your hands with Bag Balm and put on a pair of disposable latex gloves for about an hour. Fixes em right up
