Not to get too far off-topic but that O'Keefe's Working Hands is great stuff any time your hands split, crack, etc. I don't know if it's the chemicals or just "winter" with the dry air but I will get to a point over the winter where I pretty much put it on every night before I go to bed just to avoid the issue. It really works. You could go to bed one night with hands that are really in pain and wake up the next morning with seemingly new hands. No, I'm not a paid spokesperson.
my dad uses bag balm. seems to help.
