Default Stuff for your hands

I spend a lot of time doing things that result in dry cracked skin on my hands. Fishing, hunting, dirty work in the shop, knife making all the good things for your hands. Anyway, I have a lot of problems with cracks. I've tried bag balm and all sorts of remedies. Nothing worked. Found this stuff called Pro-Tech-Skin that does work. It's beeswax based. The only reliable source I've found for it is atsko.com. It's not cheap, but if your in a situtation where nothing else works, it's worth a try. Probably good for heels too. I wouldn't know, Don't have that problem.

I found a product in Lowes called O'Keeffes. Put that stuff on anything dry or cracked and it seems overnight you're good to go. Cracked cuticles,,you name it ,,for me it seems to work. And in winter especially dry skin can get me scratching like a dog with fleas. This did it. Always keep two cans on hand.
Cost of only 6 bucks was worth the relief.

I see another in local hardware stores called Butt ( don't they always look sore?) but many say it works really well also. Haven't tried it myself.
