bullshite. I've seen you people's elbows.

My granddaddy used this stuff called corn huskers. I think it's better than aquaphor

We may be ashy, but we ain't crackers.

Try jmcrazys pussy juice. Works for most of the outdoor board.

I will try super glue. I have nothing to lose after all.

If you have eczema there are treatments for that but normally if you have this problem just in winter then it's due to very dry hands. Moisten them often. Those lotions you see for hand moisturizers? Yeah, that stuff. It's best to use as often as needed before your skin cracks.

Someone suggested warm salty water and that probably will help, plus it'll be safe with existing cracks. Real saline solution is probably best. But true moisturizer will last longer.

You might also consider picking up a humidifier for the bedroom.

This^^^. Mine split big time. I was out of town this past weekend and had a big fricker open up on the tip of my thumb. I was pissed that I didn't have my super glue with me. If you wait too long and the skin dries too much, it's hard to push it back closed to super glue it back together. But if you catch them early it's a life saver.

If you can't stand the feel of lotion on your hands, apply the lotion heavily, and put on non powdered latex gloves when u sleep. Fingers will soften up quickly. Epsom salt soak in warm water before lotion will also help.
