    So this is probably for the ladies but maybe a few guys might know... I worked 7 years of my life in the grease and solvent of a road and mountain bike shop here in Boise. I've built more wheels, overhauled more bottom brackets, pressed more headsets than I care to remember but it was the solvent in the solvent tank that we used to strip grease off cranks and chains that has ruined the skin on my finger tips. They are always very dry and pretty much any outdoor activity will have them cracked and bleeding in less than a day. I've been able to find a few good lotions ($12 - $16 per 32 ounces) that do a decent job but I haven't found anything yet that makes me go... DANG! That's the stuff. Why do I mention this at CP in the lounge? Two reasons. One I might need a drug test. Two, with the people we have here from all over the world (let's not forget the edge of the world, Bull Head City) there just might be someone in a place that isn't America who knows that their country produces the finest stuff there is for someone with hands like mine. Maybe you are German, Swedish, Japanese, Indian and yes even American but hopefully you know of something that does work. The ends of my fingers have scales of skin on them and right now I could simply flick one with other finger and start bleeding. Admittedly this is a bad case from thumbing through a 20 pound bag of screws all day Sunday but still. There's got to be a fix for that somewhere though probably not in Bull Head City... :laugh: So if you know of something that works. Send me links, infomercials, mysterious packages delivered by lavish, clandestine women or just a brown box. I'll promise to give it a try so long as I can safely verify it isn't napalm or some other equally wonderful product...:eek: - Rex:cool::beer:

    Which ever lotion you use, wrap a warm towel around you hands for 15 – 20 mins after you apply the lotion. This helps your skin absorb the lotion faster. and get well soon :-P

          I have dry skin too and for many years never too it a big issue until I have spent sometime here in Japan and have being using the body lotions here. I have just gone back to start my old stuff, cocoa butter creams, and the result is cool. So, I will say try the Shea/Cocoa butter creams, especially those with Vitamin E. Palmers seems to be the leader in that area. I now buy them from Amazon.com; I hate the nude pictures on their home page - www.palmerssheabutter.com / www.palmerscocoabutter.com. Best regards, Paul.

          Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.

              Neutrogena hand cream works for me. Hint: Get a pair of cotton gloves, before bed slap a load of neutrogena on and put on the gloves. Leave overnight. :) http://neutrogena.com/ProductsDetails_357.asp?lProductLineID=12[^]

                        You should check this out. It might not be wondrous, but I'd be amazed if it would be anything like anything else you know. I discovered it in a climbing shop, and it's made especially for climbers. It smells good, it moisturizes your skin, and repairs holes realllly fast. I love it, and will never go to a mountain without a fresh supply, but not sure it will help in your case. Worth a shot. It's pretty cheap here too, I use the BAR, I've used it for a few months and there's still some left. Check it out. "Clickety split"[^]

                                I had a similar problem after working with photo chemicals for a while - had to get a prescription for something with silicone in it. Found some stuff called Glysomed - has glycerine and silicone, and the smelly girly version has chamomile.

                                  I'll have to find the name of the company but I use this stuff that is mostly bees wax so it's really thick. The other thing I use is from Mary Kay. They have this four step Satin Hands skin care line. There is this thick pink waxy stuff (I think it's step 1) that I love for my dry feet.

                                    I just rub baby oil on my hands before I dry off from the shower and that does the trick.

                                      I don't need a barrier. In almost every work condition I can find I use gloves but I was having to handle 1" wood screws and with gloves you just cannot get those to be cooperative. I could have opted for surgical gloves (Lord knows, we have them.) but they are so hot and I sweat so easily that the sweat becomes as big a problem from the acidic salt content. I'm looking for a good recovery agent.:-D

                                        You should check this out. It might not be wondrous, but I'd be amazed if it would be anything like anything else you know. I discovered it in a climbing shop, and it's made especially for climbers. It smells good, it moisturizes your skin, and repairs holes realllly fast. I love it, and will never go to a mountain without a fresh supply, but not sure it will help in your case. Worth a shot. It's pretty cheap here too, I use the BAR, I've used it for a few months and there's still some left. Check it out. "Clickety split"[^]

                                          Which ever lotion you use, wrap a warm towel around you hands for 15 – 20 mins after you apply the lotion. This helps your skin absorb the lotion faster. and get well soon :-P

                                          Or purchase a pack of cheap white cotton gloves and wear them after liberally applying the lotion.
