Cracked Finger Tips? Recent Recommendations from People’s Pharmacy
Recently in a People’s Pharmacy e-mail we received dated November 29, 2011, there was a discussion about cracked finger tips. While certainly not a medical emergency nor requiring a trip to the ER, cracked finger tips can be quite painful and annoying. This time of year when the temperature dips to around freezing, you are working outside in the wind and get your hands wet or work with wet gloves on, or even inside with the dry air, you tend to get cracked hands. Working with chemicals like we do refinishing furniture and polishing metals, also dry out ones skin. Even when you try to keep from spreading colds or other infections, if you wash your hands on a regular basis, your going to run into rough chapped hands or cracked finger tips sooner or later. It is just bound to happen. In the Peoples Pharmacy article several remedies were suggested. ThePolish Guy does recommend O’Keeffe’s Healthy Hands, but others mentioned in the article including ; Udderly Smooth Udder Cream, Vaseline, Preparation H, Aquaphor , and even Instant Glue & Crazy Glue. We don’t know about how effective all of these may be, but we have had good luck With O’Keeffe’s Healthy Hands.

Cracked hands & fingers from chemicals & water
If you are reading this post, chances are that you hands and fingers get those painful and unsightly cracks on them. Most anyone that details autos or boats, clean guns, antiques, molds or anything where you might use metal polish runs into this problem. If you use nitrile gloves this does help, but you probably are washing your hands a lot. We were told about this product by a man that does landscaping. He swore by it. Its called O’Keeffe’s Working Hands. Here is our review of O’Keeffe’s. It comes in a small jar that you can keep right in your pocket or work bench. It is a soft but firm cream that spreads on easily. It has no odor that we noticed, nor was it greasy at all. The big deal about this product was that in a couple of days our cracks were healed and have been staying that way for over 2 weeks. We recommend that you try some O’Keeffe’s. They even make a kind that is a little different for your feet, called O’Keeffe’s Healthy Feet. If your washing equipment even your feet maybe getting wet which leads to a similar problem. If you can’t find it at a store near you, it can be had from our recommended online metal polish supplier. Click here if you would like to order some with your next metal polish order.
