Old things get dried out.
Working outdoors, winter air, handling papers, forced air heating systems, etc. seem to be hard on hands. After trying Aloe, Euercin Cream, Bag Balm, Intensive Care, and almost every other hand lotion, I have found Gardener's Hand Therapy Cream (Crabtree and Evelyn) to be an extraordinarily effective hand lotion without leaving an unpleasant greasy layer. Really terrific stuff.

Warning: There are many similar appearing products from this manufacturer. Also, it does not have UV protection.
