Tip for Dry Cracked Hands

[mtthwlw]

In the winter my hands get dry and cracked by the wind and cold weather. Because you spend time outdoors in the winter you know what I'm talking about.

Well, this year I found a product that has saved me from bleeding knuckles, and I want to pass along this tip:


Lanolin. The stuff that they sell at Wal-Mart in the baby section for breastfeeding mothers. It works great. It goes on thick, so I wouldn't want to put it on if I had to shake hands with someone, but if you're outside working or hiking... it's the best I've found.

Has anyone else tried it? (I'm expecting some adolescent-type response, but I'm serious. It works.)

I have always used

I guess it comes from time spend on my grandmas farm as a kid and in the winter this is what everyone used :)..

may have to try the lanolin stuff - but I like the antiseptic part of Bag Balm so then again maybe not ....

I've never used bag balm. Maybe I should give it a try.

This stuff's incredible! Use it on my hands AND feet when they get cracked and dry. Also used it on my babies when they had diaper rash or irritation. And recently found it works wonders on chafing as well. Crazy what ya can learn living on a farm...
