try ';bag balm'; it is in a green square metal canister and you can get it at farming type stores. it smells, but it works. It started out as a cream that farmers put on cow's udders to keep them from chapping. they discovered that thier hands started healing up too.
Drink plenty of water and I like a product called ';Bag Balm'; I love that stuff. Put it on your hand before bed and put cotton gloves on, its wonderful. I put the balm on my heels when my heels were cracked. I big container is only about 5 bucks...it would be worth a try. You could also have her try Corn Huskers Lotion, its sorta like bag balm but more like a liquid.
Bag Balm is what they used in the hospital when my son was so sick. Yes, humans use it for dry skin, cracked hands and feet. It is cheap too.

try vicks vapo rub at night with cotton gloves.it takes awhile but it sure helped my feet
clean your hands with an oil-free skin cleanser such as Cetaphil or SFC Lotion





To smooth and soothe irritated hands, mix a few drops of glycerin with a few drops of lemon oil [both are available at pharmacies]. Massage this into your hands at bedtime





To remove the top layer of dead skin cells from chapped hands, Schorr recommends a weekly sloughing treatment. ';Process 1 cup of uncooked, old-fashioned (not instant) rolled oats in a blender until you have a very find powder. Place it in a large bowl, then rub your hands in the powder, gently removing dry skin. Rinse with cool water, pat dry, and lavish on hand cream. Wait 2 minutes and apply more cream.';
