Efas, lachydrin (lactic acid): Avoid irritating chemicals, add essential fatty acids to your diet such as flaxseed oil or omega 3-6-9 to increase the content of essential fattynacids in the skin. Externally use barrier repair creams such as cerave. Soaking your hands in water and then trapping the water with barrier repair creams. Prescription creams includeeletone, hylatopic ointment etc.

Moisturizers: Sometimes it is not so important which you use, but how you use it. For regular moisturizing apply with the hands or feet still moist after showering- this doubles the penetration power. For severe cases, apply a plastic bag to your foot or vinyl gloves to your hands and wear them for an hour or 2 for 10 times the penetration.
