Good Morning! I'm sticking my nose in the conversation. I'm just north of Prescott. I deal with ridiculously dry and cracked hands. I have learned to use hoof cream/dressing on my hands. It sounds weird but I'm telling you it works. Depending on which hoof dressing you use I always put gloves over it until it soaks into the skin. I tried it out of sheer desperation, no more cracked bleeding fingers!

Walgreen's carries it, and so does Amazon. It's this one:

Edit:
I use the regular Body Cream one right now, because my hand's don't get as bad now as they did at that one job before.

I know where to get it. There's none on the shelf.

Hey, welcome and thank you so much! Is there a particular brand/formula you suggest?

Thank you for the welcome! I typically use Farriers Secret, because that is what I use on my horses. I have also used Corona hoof dressing and Hooflex. Play around with how much you use until you figure out what works best for you.
There was a hoof cream years ago that had mango in it, I used it as lotion lol Sadly they discontinued production of it.

I grew up in a high desert town in Northern San Diego county. Having to be in the barn by 3am so you could feed and get to working horses by 4:30am was insanity! When we defected from Cali we debated Southern Az, but I just couldn't do it. I'm an outdoors kinda gal. I don't handle being cooped up inside well. So instead I complain about how damn cold it gets up here and God help me when that nasty white stuff hits! I go down to the valley to thaw out in winter.

It's not hard at all if you wanted to shovel the sunshine from the driveway's in winter here. The shovelful's are very light.

Sure rub it in why don't ya? My husband who grew up in Pa convinced me snow was fun. HA! Snow is cold and a royal pain in the arse when it comes to doing well ANYTHING outside. Move to snow country he said, it will be fun he said.
