That's it.... Just keep eliminating one more component of the problem... A long, slow process...
Prior to the Industrial Revolution, the men who worked in the commercial hide tanning business all had soft hands. Some of the ingredients in the old hand cream evolved out of the tanning industry.

Make focaccia by hand every other day with a serious amount of olive oil.
Actually, the Udderly stuff does the job.

Vaseline on the cuticles, after shower. O'Keefe's Working Hands throughout the day keeps my fingers from splitting in the winter time.
Wanna hold hands sweet pea?Somehow I knew you would find this thread!
Thanks for the pro tip on the accelerator. Waiting for it to dry is problematic.
that's what i've used for years, my dad used it also. Didn't know they were out of business. Glad now i bought a dozen bottles off amazon a couple years ago. I'll b a little more stingy with it. Usually give my boys a bottle every Christmas. Bag Balm works great also, we kept a can around when we were milking cows by hand for the cow's tits in the winter. Cows are gone, but we still keep some down at the barn I know we'll get some great meme's on here for that comment
As I "matured," I learned hiring Mexicans was easy on the hands...and the back, knees, hips, elbows...
Superglue and this
Dries quick, non greasy. Works fast.

Dr Squatch soap. Every winter my hands went to shit, dried out, cracked, and bleed. I stopped using dial type soaps and switched to Dr Squatch. No more problems!
Aquaphor or Super Salve. The lube up and glove/ socks at night is good preventative advice. Works great when spending weeks working in the desert, should work most other places as well.
Hands are okay generally, but one of my heels cracks and bleeds on a regular basis if I forget routine maintenance.
I have used Okeefe products and another heel lotion , but am always looking for something better! Keep up the suggestions.

My grandmother was a hairdresser in the 70s and 80s when big perms and aquanet were all the rage. Her hands would crack bad. In addition to the Bag Balm, or Udder Cream, she would put some olive oil inside rubber gloves and let her hands soak in them for half-hour or so every night. She used to swear by it.
Bag balm works great for diaper rash, used on both kids. Works great for hands, I just hate how greasy it is. Takes forever to soak in.
Eucerin and Gold Bond have paired well.
Dermatologist recommended the Eucerin for my dry cracking elbows

This. I've been using less and applying it differently. Instead of squirting a pile in my palm, I use the bottle tip to smear all over while slightly squeezing the bottle. This applies it to all over but limits how much and it helps tremendously with how long it takes to start handling anything you don't want all greasy. Not perfect but has helped.
Rubber gloves and a bunch of bag balm in them when you go to sleep.
Wake up in the morning and everything is all better.
Repeat as required through the winter months.

Still have 1 in diapers so still have a tub if it! Haha
Pine pitch on a band aid… heat it up with a lighter then put it on. I’ve sealed a few deep cuts that probably needed stitches with that method it works. Natural antiseptic.
I mainly use a lot of O'Keefes & udder cream, even creams & ointments prescribed by my Dr. That's usually enough, but if it continues I put Vaseline in a finger cot & hear it all night. all This has been the most effective so far.
If my feet get too bad I smear a thick layer of Vaseline & then wrap the foot in Saran wrap.
