A member asked:
What kind of ingredients are better for dry hands in lotion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moisturizers: After the skin is moistened, such as after a tepid bath, any greasy ingredient to seal in the moisturizer will help. Put on cotton gloves afterwards, before bed. This could be petroleum jelly, cocoa butter, cold cream, even a solid shortening such as Crisco.
