This winter has taken a toll on my hands. They are so dry and chapped I don't know what to do.
I've tried the old remedy of using Vaseline at night and putting my hands in socks but it still seems my hands are rough and dry.
Do you have a method for solving dry, chapped hands?

I used to have that problem all the time but since I started eating more salmon and sardines I've noticed I don't get it so badly anymore .... it could be that being home all the time helps as well.
If you aren't too sensitive to the smell of vinegar I did notice that using vinegar on my hands also helped relieve the dryness.

I never would have thought vinegar would help. I always have some on hand so I can give it a try. Thanks

I have heard that Alvocado oil is the best of them all have you noticed if that's true?

@Marilynda1225 I always have Nivea in the bathroom cabinet.

So maybe spending winter in Florida would work better for me ?

It works somewhat but not as good as it used to.

As I've gotten older Vaseline no longer works for me either

I've found that Nivea Essentially Enriched body lotion works nicely.

Nivea seems to be a popular solution here.

@Marilynda1225 I've used Lubriderm for many years, but it doesn't work as well, for my hands.

If I'm having that, I just usually apply some lotion and then it vanishes away

Try using Cetaphil moisturizer as well or any moisturizer it will relieve your chapped hands faster.
