Split/cracked/cut skin on your hands

I put olive oil on my hands at bedtime when they get that cracked - if you want a vegetarian version. Also, I think Crisco comes in a vegetable shortening too, doesn't it?

I have used Loctite super glue for years to repair the really deep cracks. I asked my doctor about it once and he said alot of surgeons use the same thing..I'd bet they didn't get theirs from Home Depot though! LOL! O'keefe, I think, makes a paste in a little green tin, about the size of a snuff can, that really does a good job too. You can usually find it at the farm stores around the Bag Balm area.

"Okeefes working hands".. the wifey noticed my thumbs cracking and in rough shape and saw this stuff at Lowes. Been useing it a couple times a day for about a week now, and see a great improvement. Doesn't take much and doesn't leave any oily sticky residue.
