Hi davetclown, and anyone reading, not sure how to post but I have found that for extreme Dry, Cracked ( even to the point of bleeding and painfully useless) hands and skin in general, after trying EVERYTHING lol including more expensive "medicated" hand lotions (which I found to ALL contain alcohol, which only seemed compounded my problems) [unimpressed]
Even triple antibiotic creams were not helping combat the extreme, dry and bitter Okanagan winters with daily snow removal and firewood chores and a basic love of the outdoors (spend most every daylight hour outside doing something).
Was desperate, trying everything and anything lol until out of kitchen came EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL !!! [:p]
Very first moments rubbing into my cracked, bleeding, too painful to open anymore hands were extascy, pain left almost immediately, could put gloves right back on again (was bad).
Right back enjoying work and play with hands completely healed in days and of course using religiously ever since, hands, feet, elbows, etc., lips ( way better than chap sick IMO ) [
]
Rub into my hands well every two or three days now, makes a bit of oily hands mess which I rub in well for a minute or two then wash if necessary or just head out if I'm going to go get my hands dirty anyways. Lips get a dab rubbed in every morning, anything else as necessary, Beauty !!, been like baby new for several years now.
