You are suppose to put it on and wash it off, but I just leave it on. It doesn't feel oily and it works great. Today the mail lady came and she mentioned her hands, and whoa were they bad. I had her try it, and she came back and asked me to order her some. I have had the cracks in my fingers also. Crazy glue works great. It takes away the pain (after the initial sting) almost immediately. It keeps the skin sealed so it doesn't dry more. <BR/><BR/>On the unconventional side, after gutting chickens and turkeys, my hands are very soft from the oils in the fat. Better than the diesel method, but more disgusting than just using olive oil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-27606516507373209152007-11-27T15:08:00.000-08:002007-11-27T15:08:00.000-08:00GM: You've got to do what you've got to do...and ...GM: You've got to do what you've got to do...and it was well worth it.<BR/><BR/>Beth: Vitamine E cream hmmm, I can probably get that, I have in the past opened up the capsules and smeared the goo inside around as well...I get desperate.<BR/><BR/>Trish: I never ever ever have soft hands, even my kids complain, but in the winter...oh my goodness, it is like a little slice of hell.

Supposedly, this is a great way of getting rid of dry skin. Somehow I don't feel too inclined to try it, but it might be better than the diesel method. ;)Mother Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648404612737553605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-91959375145920379302007-11-27T08:41:00.000-08:002007-11-27T08:41:00.000-08:00while you're sticking your handsin all that olive ...while you're sticking your handsin all that olive oil, add a little rosemary and marjoram...then dip in some of that good bread you get in town. hey, you may as well enjoy it while you're soaking, right?Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245554563405436101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-56090290519607414282007-11-27T07:13:00.000-08:002007-11-27T07:13:00.000-08:00I have the softest hands all summer and then winte...I have the softest hands all summer and then winter comes and it's all cracks and flakes and hangnails....like they age 30 years in one season. gah!<BR/><BR/>Soaking in olive oil sounds like a good ideaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-22240225448313823062007-11-27T04:52:00.000-08:002007-11-27T04:52:00.000-08:00Well, I'm certainly not trying your diesel cure bu...Well, I'm certainly not trying your diesel cure but I too suffer from incredibly dry hands. (Hate it when someone wants to shake my hand in the winter months.) This year I've been using Vitamin E cream and it actually works!
