My skin's been drying out like crazy this month. I actually had to use lotion! My knuckles sting so bad now. I've never really had to use lotion in the past. My skin would sort of dry out a little, but it wouldn't be that bothersome.

But damn, like every time I wash my hands now, my knuckles dry out completely. Gotta lube'em up. It's ridiculous.

Yep, happening to me too. I've got some spots on my wrists that are getting dry and cracked because of the temperature (I wear gloves while at work, but short sleeves, and they're right above the glove area). I like winter, but I sure don't like how it treats my skin. ;;

Lotion or Working Hands cream helps, at least. Personally use the latter, hasn't failed me for years, and you only need a tiny dab per application.

Winter and constant hand-washing will do that to you. We had one lady that once worked in the Deli get a really bad chemical burn from using so much hand sanitizer due to constantly changing tasks. They kicked her out of the Deli after she got checked into the docs and got a note for it.

Lube up kids. Your skin will thank you.

Same boat here, but I've been getting a red dryness rash around my lips no matter how much I moisturize, drink water, etc. So annoying!!!
