the cuticle. It gets really painful and with winter coming on it will only get worse. I use lotion many times a day and I even found a hand sanitizer that has aloe and vitamen E in it. Help!

drink lots of water (keep moisture inside)
utter cream....don't laugh it's for cows utters and they get very dried out and crack....you can get it at a feed and seed center.
also try something like vitamin E cream.
apply generously to hands at night and put on some latex gloves.
sleep like that.
in the colder weather don't go out without gloves on
taking vitamin E wouldn't be a bad idea either

Hand sanitizer is just gelled alcohol, it's gonna dry out your skin badly especially if you use it on a regular basis.
Arbonne Intelligence makes a hand cream that is amazing and can be purchased for just $6!! My mom is an accountant and uses her hands all day shuffling papers and on the computer. She keeps a tube of it on her desk all the time!
If you'd like to try a free sample, just ask! (the sample will come in a tube form with a screw on lid and is a 1.8 oz travel size! Great to stick in your purse and carry with you!)

At night coat your hands with vaseline an so you dont make a mess all over the place stick your hands into a pair of your clean socks and let it go to work all night long.
Another thing that works even tho it sounds really cazy is
you take the wax from one of those candles that are made out of soybeans, the candles that are smokeless and melt some of the wax then rub the wax onto your hands. you will find that it leaves your hands feeling silky soft.

Use Vaseline Intensive Care (Aloe Fresh) lotion for the very best results

Using petrelium jelly with glove at night works but leaves your skin very oily. You can a buy a really good lotion call cocoa butter cream. You can find it at any pharmacy around and its cheap. Is the same lotion pregnant women used to reduce strechmarks. If really good. I used to have really rough hands and now everyne that touches my hands says: Oh your so soft!!

Coat your hands in a lot of vaseline each night at bed time. Put clean socks over your hands.
Do this regularly - 3-4 nights per week.
It really helps.
