That's good stuff

I keep a container of O’Keefe’s with my fishing gear and one on my desk to use this time of the year. I have problems with my thumb areas splitting open from the cold water and weather.

I keep a container of O’Keefe’s with my fishing gear and one on my desk to use this time of the year. I have problems with my thumb areas splitting open from the cold water and weather.

The thumbs are the worst, but other parts on my hands also split open. I appreciate all the info.

As another poster  mentioned O'Keeffe's "Working Hands" Hand Cream is very good.  It won't soften those hands overnight but using it every for a week will really help.

O’Keeffe’s success story here too. Like ccadis noted, it takes a little while, but works. After it heals I have had luck just using a regular lotion or petroleum jelly. I also don’t go so gun ho on the washing either that I did in the spring. Your skin makes its own moisturizer that isn’t good to constantly remove. Same as your hair, why it is recommended to not wash your hair every day.

I think everyone is facing this problem

O'keefes hand cream is some of the best solution to cracked, dry, working mans hands! Hope this helps!
