It's been so cold that the tips of my fingers get dry and crack. It's painful to type with them. I even get cracks on my heels. My lotions don't help, so I'll try Vaseline. Does anyone have any other solution?

Vanessa try Udderly Smooth Hand location. I lived in Colorado for 23 years before I moved to Oregon. This is what I found that helped my fingertips the best. Also O’Keefes Working Hands lotion is excellent too. Good Luck

Home remedy, dip fingertips in mild solution of 5% white vinegar & water, dry, and rub in extra virgin olive oil. The vinegar will adjust the ph of the skin and the olive oil will help heal the skin.

Vanessa, I will second Debbie’s recommendation of O’Keefe’s which seems to work well. I have eczema so I have found that when dealing with cracking skin from dry weather and over washing, it definitely helps to soak my hands , give them a scrub with some sugar to remove dead skin, then cover them with a lotion containing dimethicone. I feel like I have tried every natural product possible, but nothing provides the skin barrier that the dimethicone does. If you come across a lotion with that ingredient as one of the top few, it will definitely help protect your skin! To take it a step further, you can either wrap your hands or feet in plastic wrap to help the lotion absorb, or try a pair of cotton gloves (usually best suited to when you are getting into bed at night!). Good luck!

I use silver serum cream. My hubby had that problem. Healed in about 2 days. I get it from https://store.drlivingood.com/
Unfortunately it is sold out right now. It's the only cream I use now.

My husband loves O'keeffe's Working Hands and I love CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, but my Mother-in-law just told me she uses menthol on her deep cracks around her fingers. I haven't tried it yet, but figured I could pass on the info.

Krista, I second the Cera-Ve! The cream keeps my hands moisturized for a long time! :)

Karen, I started using it when my youngest was a baby. His skin was so dry and that is what the doctor recommended I use. I noticed how wonderful my hands felt after putting it on him all the time. Now it just stays in our home permanently.

It’s so amazing. I really like the Cetaphil cream too. Costco has that and it very reasonably priced.
