Despite running a humidifier and drinking tons of water, it's been especially bad this year. I've taken to using gloves while I was dishes and washing my hands with cold water instead of hot, but I'm still struggling with cracking and splitting and catching on all fabrics - a nightmare for knitting.
I did discover an amazing hand salve, though, that has been pretty great: Burt's Bees Hand Salve.
Lotion always makes my hands feel yuck and of course I don't want to get any grease on the yarn I'm working with... but this salve has been GREAT. This is the only thing I've ever used that didn't make my feel like I had to wash my hands afterwards - and I feel safe knitting after using it. I also dig that it is all natural - which makes sense considering there is no leftover residue on my hands. I got a small tin as a gift then bought a bigger one at the baby store with a coupon. You can also get it on Amazon.
What do you use to help prevent sandpaper hands?
