Your not going to believe this one: Udder Balm from the feed and grain store. Now, I bet your all laughing but it's the miracle cure. Works great on all body part.
With so many of you living in the cold weather and the cracking and chapping of your hands this will solve the problem.

I use Curel Ultra healing and love it, I use it on my feet a lot and it makes them so soft.

I use goats milk lotion.

Working as a nurse and washing my hands all of the time causes dry, cracking, bleeding skin. I have found that Eucerin is the only thing that heals mine. I use the thick stuff in the tub.

We use Aquaphor. It's used on everything including diaper rash. That's how I originally found it. I would use it at night though as it is thick and a bit "greasy" although that is not the right word to best describe it. I usually put it on with a clean pair of socks (yes,socks) on my hands while I sleep to keep the moisture in.
Good luck!

I have heard to use Bag Balm lotion for cows, is that the one you are talking about? Have you used it before?

And, if you get the medicated form, it will take the itch away. I love love love love this stuff. It works great in the winter time after shaving so your legs don't get dry and itchy either. It is a bit pricy, but worth every penny and you can get it almost anywhere like walmart or grocery stores.

Is it the one in the green bottle? I just bought a bottle of regular Gold Bond and it seems to be working more than the other lotions I have used.

Best item to use! Had terrible dry hands before and used a dime size amount and worked wonders.... Now my hands are soft and healthy looking and i get compliments on how my hands feel!

Yep, that's the type of Neutrogena I was thinking of, it is good!

I use the regular Gold Bond for my hands and during the day. I use the green bottle on my legs after I shave. I get really dry and no matter what I seem to use my legs get dry and itchy. This totally takes care of any razor burn or bumps, and has a cooling soothing feel to it as well as taking care of the dry. They are all non greasy.

My mom sells Mary Kay and I agree the satin hands is awesome. The extra emollient night cream is good by itself for chapped lips,hands anywhere you have dry skin.
