Help. My fingers hurt

[geepy]

O.k. I'm in florida and it's cold right now. My fingers are spliting and hurting. Right now I'm using corn huskers lotion. Does anybody have any other suggestions? Sorry to sound like a wimp, but they are really hurting.

I have recently discovered Vaseline petroleum jelly cream deep moisture lotion to combat the increased dryness from washing dishes at work. Supposedly it has 18-hour moisturization, vitamin E, and is fragarance free.
Dh says it doesn't have a scent. I swear it smells and smells nice!! I have a hyper-sensitive nose sometimes

It does soak in pretty quick and has been the only thing to really help me out with the dishpan hands. I use it every night before bed, and occasionally during the day.

Lather it on your hands and put socks on your hands before you go to bed. Or gloves if you have some thin ones.

We have Pulvex vet ointment here, it's the same thing as bag balm essentially. I grease my hands up and the DH puts socks on my hands. I sleep with them on. I work in the food industry too, wash a lot of dishes..
