What to do about dry scaly hands?

Question:

My husband - poor guy, I'm picking on him tonight - has dry hands. He is about to be a massage therapist, and I have noticed since he has been doing massages (he is in school right now) his finger tips especially and his hands are really dry.

We have tried lotions and oils, soaking in Palmolive, etc and nothing is working..

Any ideas?

Answers:
I'd try corn huskers oil. It REALLY works, but it sorta greasy feeling. Bag Balm also very useful and a favorite during the winter.

Just a question tho: is this possibly an allergic reaction? Some massage oils have peanut oli in them and can cause nasty allergic reaction. Or perhaps he has been wearing latex gloves, also non-latex gloves with powder can cause reactions too.

If nothing helps, I'd go see a doctor. It could be a sign of a food allergy, other allergy or perhaps medical conditions.

put some virgin coconut oil. believe me it works
