@I am still oxox  Yes, this is the one that first came to my mind too. Probably the best.

I use A La Maison handwash & Cruel lotion for dry skin. I only use homemade soaps when I take a shower. My hands are never dry. I don't need to use lotion daily.

The only thing that helps me with my dry hands is Josie Maran hand cream. It starts working after just using once. I also find that I use less of this hand cream because it works. I just purchased 5 super size because she does not offer unscented very often.

Re: Extreme dry hands - What Helps!!

Awesome!!! I really appreciate everyone’s help!! My hands are so dry and cracked that they keep me up at night because they hurt so much. Every night before bed I use peroxide on the cracks and then apply triple antibiotic ointment which helps with some of the soreness.

Thank You Thank You!!! 🤗🤗🤗

 Any really good oil works, even olive oil with a pair of socks on your hands will do wonders overnight. Also just plain Vaseline and a pair of cotton socks overnight.

 

Something I didn't see anybody mention is why your hands are so dry and cracked, there may be something missing in your diet that is making your skin breakdown like that.  that's why the Mediterranean diet is supposed to be so good for peoples' skin and that includes olive oil in your diet.

O-Keefe's is the best I have ever used on my hands. No more dry rough spots in the winter around fingettips or on hands,  and so glad I found it.
