| I wear leather gloves when I garden but my fingers and thumbs still crack open on the tips around the nails - sure does hurt. Does anyone know of a REALLY great hand cream to use to prevent the cracking?

| AHAVA is what I use. It is imported from Israel and is some seriously good stuff. I apply it before I garden and again when I get cleaned up. I do not wear gloves when I work unless dealing with the roses. |

| My husband recently recommended Corn Huskers (our local drug store carries it) . The texture of it is disgusting, but it does a nice job of fixing dry, cracked skin. |

| I really like California Baby's calendula cream. It comes in a tiny jar but a little goes a long way. My hands were cracking terribly this winter and this stuff helped. |

| I'm not making this up...Zim's Crack Creme. My SO is a professional potter who suffered from the same problem, until I discovered...(((ZIM'S CRACK CREME)))!!! It's really an oil, comes in a small 2 oz bottle, not cheap and should be avaliable at Walgreen's (I hate that place). A bottle lasts forever. HTH, |

| Glysomed is the best. Local Walmart USED to carry it but quit. I just ordered 4 tubs of it online. Got it in a few days at the same cost I used to pay, free shipping. It is made in Germany and has Glycerine, Silicone and chamomile in it. It comes unscented and scented. I love the scented kind and wish I had bought one unscented to use on my poor chapped lips. The scented doesn't taste very good. |

| I use Zims Crack Cream and get it in a tube at the drug store. It has a different smell. Also a small bottle of New Skin - it is a clear coating that you put on cracks and protects them until they heal and will do so much faster. |
