We all suffer from from dry, cracked hands after washing 10-15 times a day after gasoline, grease, oil, and solvent exposure. I've finally plopped down my 7 bucks on O'Keeffe's working hands creme. It is the bomb. Not greasy, almost no smell, sticks around, (if you use you'll know what I'm talkin' about!) and works wonders making hands human again. If you've never tried it, you owe it to your self and your hands to give it a go. You will not be disappointed! Wish I would have tried this product years ago!421500

I just use the "good" habd cleaner. I think Cintas calls it "Solopol," Snap-On has the same stuff with a different name. I'm using that stuff now with their dispenser. It's about $30 for a "lifetime" supply size bottle. It's the tan colored stuff with something like almond shell grit. Just a little dab will do and the water turns it all lotiony and gritty at the same time. "Exfoliating" the old lady calls it!
We use a hand cleaner called Cresto. Made by Stoko and way more money than I ever thought I would spend on soap. It has crushed walnut shells and will clean anything off your hands. The best part is my hands have far less cracking then before. A little around the nails but way better than before. I have seen the Okeefe product before but don't like the way most hand creams feel. This one sounds like it may be worth a shot. Good info.

Nitrile gloves. ;)
Burt's Bees hand cream repair with Shea butter works well.

I never was able to work in those "rubber gloves" slipping around fingertips and the juice that pours out from them when the sweat and powder mix all up. Yuk!

I got the hook up from a nurse who washes her hands 50+ times a day. Its a two step deal, one at night, one in the morn. Morning was called protection, night time called repair. Swiss something or another brand. The protection stuff was dry non greasy and really survived well even through many hand washes with pumice etc. I had some stuff similar once, called invisible glove or something like that.

O'Keefe's seems to" stick around " a bunch and afford protection even if hands are gently washed. Luv it!

Non powdered. Better than getting carb cleaner, MEK, etc on your skin.

Might have to get used to 'em for certain occasions. Sucks going out to eat, or sitting around the holiday dinner table with cruddy, gross looking hands in front of family. You know how tough it is to thoroughly clean dried out, greasy-azz hands!
Do the dishes, pots, pans by hand leading up to the holidays, that helps get them clean after a few days

I DO the dishes, pots, pans all the time, that's why my hands are so damn dry! They don't stand a chance when confronted with fuel, solvents, brake fluid, etc. Funny chit.... Old employer of mine told me, if you don't want to do something, do a ****ty job over and over, and eventually you won't be asked or required to do that job anymore. Apparently the old lady has heard that story, and applies this theory to the dishes in our household. So I wash.:nonod:

Have you ever tied gabion basket, the coating zinc galvanization will leave valleys in your hands, never leaves.

No, but the dip basket in carb cleaner will muss you're hands up pretty good, and stay stinkin' for ever!
Back in the day, used to clean paint off hands with laquer thinner at the body shop. Benzene, toluene, amongst a host of other goodies. Make dry hands the least of your worries!
I've reached for the can of non Cl brake cleaner in a pinch, works.

We use to put a quart or two of ATF in the parts cleaner to help with the dry hands; it helps.
