Metrosexual question :)

Hands in and out of tanks etc leads to dry skin sometimes.
What (if any) hand lotions are you guys using?
LOL

I just use old fashion petroleum jelly. A mineral oil rub works wonder for my skin too:p. But, I do have a peculiar skin and I try to avoid perfumes, colorants and other ingredients. I just keep it simple and hydrated. Not to mention safe in case I put my hands in the tank again.

Might want to drink more water yourself too.

BTW, I try to avoid my hands out of the tanks in the first place and sometime use gloves.

THere is a dove "man" lotion that doesn't have any perfumes, that's what I prefer. And my skin takes a beating between the fish tanks and grease from working on cars all day long.

corn huskers. I'm in construction, my hands are tough as nails, yet still smooth. It was a trick a old iron worker showed me years ago.

A water and Prime solutions seems to work well. ;)

I use Cetaphil. Best stuff ever. And I know exactly what you're talking about with those dry hands after tank maintenance!

Good stuff, sometimes hard to find the last several years- I buy it online.

Like JaredP, I work on machinery, and sometimes my hands start to get crusty in the winter- cracked, dead skin. I use "Pretty feet & hands rough skin remover"-

I spread out a piece of newspaper on the table, start rubbing the stuff into the bad spots- keep rubbing, and dead skin balls up, comes right off. Takes a little time and patience- it's just about the only time I watch television... Then wash, apply cornhuskers. A few days of that and even hands that are in rough shape come around quickly. Also removes discoloration from dirt & grease, because dirt only sticks tight to dead skin...

A long ago girlfriend showed me that trick... and a few others...
