How do you heal dry cracked hands?

I have really bad dry skin on my hands. I started to get slits, and I seemed to be bleeding all the time. Very bad. I finally found an extremely quick cure. Every night before you go to bed, put on some hand lotion that is specifically desgined for dry skin. Let that sink in for a couple of minutes. Next, use lanolin. It is meant for breastfeeding, but it will work wonders for all dry skin. Put a layer of the lanolin wherever your dry skin is. And finally, wear gloves to bed. After 4 nights, my hands were perfect. At the beginning, I recommend doing this every night. Once it gets better, you won't have to do it as often, especially in the summer. If you decide to just stop, it's possible that it will come back, but you can just do it as needed.

You can also switch to a soap that contains aloe. I use a popular liquid soap that contains aloe in the bathroom and that helps a lot, even though my kitchen soap is ordinary dishwahing liquid.
