You need serious lotion. I like the corn husker's too. Most store bought lotion has alcohol in it, and that just makes it worse. And vaseline is just leftover crude oil.


Drink plenty of water.


I use an oil lotion meant for a pregnant woman's belly. Its made of almond, cocoa butter, and vitamin E oils.


If you're adventurous, try making up this recipe. You can get the ingredients at a good health food store. Just ask for some help. The lanolin is the key to this recipe.


RICH LAVENDER MOISTURISING CREAM: (this stuff is brilliant!)


2 teaspoons beeswax


2 teaspoons lanolin


4 teaspoons almond oil


1 teaspoon wheatgerm oil


1/2 teaspoon Vitamin E oil (from capsules)


2 drops lavender oil


pinch borax


2 teaspoons boiling water





Melt beeswax and almond oil over very gentle heat, remove from heat. Stir borax into boiling water, then add to the lanolin mixture. Add remaining ingredients and beat well. Store in a cool, dark place. Keeps for years.Please i need advice on dry hands vasoline dosnt work and neither dose lotion?
I had a simular situation. I figured out it was a combination of not drinking enough WATER and washing my hands too much and too often. Try not to use so much lotion as well. If this doesnt help it could be a allergic reaction to something. Winter time is alot worst for it too.
Try diprobase cream, I have really dry, sensitive skin and it is now as smooth as a babies bottom :P
Try either e45 cream used for eczema or go into the body shop and ask what's the best for your skin type..





might even be an allergy to something and you haven't noticed :p
Corn Huskers Lotion, I work ALOT with my hands and this stuff is amazing...try it.!!!!

Continue to do what you're doing, but drink more water. Hydrate from the inside out.
