I like it as it rubs in well, does not leave a really oily residue (if you leave it a few minuted) which is important if you want to be handling fabric/yarn without leaving big oily patches.....one note though, no licking your fingers!<br /><br />Also a bit of extra virgin olive oil rubbed in well before bed really helps.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17473729350762852125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293493646747440510.post-2182451099537269072009-06-11T07:42:31.428+10:002009-06-11T07:42:31.428+10:00oh this is terrible! i hate that!!! it will pass s...oh this is terrible! i hate that!!! it will pass soon enough! <br /><br />Winters over here rip your hands up too!sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13710064504817543825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293493646747440510.post-20280493221780589452009-06-11T00:36:23.466+10:002009-06-11T00:36:23.466+10:00Thank you very much for all the tips, everyone.

I bought it to use when I was breastfeeding bubs..didn't help that but heals cracks overnight on hands. Once you've fixed them, buy some Moo Goo or Udder cream and use it after you go to the loo and wash your hands. Little bit, often. Hope it works.Mrs Buttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871756278131575860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293493646747440510.post-82654033854242849002009-06-10T22:50:49.429+10:002009-06-10T22:50:49.429+10:00I'm a fan of Udder Cream from the local wool a...I'm a fan of Udder Cream from the local wool and craft stores.
