Dry cracked hands are a DIY reality. When hands and fingers become sandpaper hands, it means that hardwork is getting done. But when my skin cracks open, that slows me down so I need to fix ’em fast. I need a hand crack repair solution that’s easy and quick. Here’s how to fix cracked hands quickly and for less than $20.
How do dry cracked hands—sandpaper hands—happen?
What usually leads to uber-dry and cracked hands for me is a combination of cold weather and warm/cold or wet/dry conditions, something we often find on projects like Food Network’s Save My Bakery where we we’re constantly running inside and outside to do make cuts or install molding. Because we had just 48 hours to remodel bakeries, from overhauling their branding to exterior updates and signage to floor plans and all of the interior decor, often including flooring and tons of carpentry projects.
Or winter deck builds when there’s water involved, say for mixing concrete or using caulk. Wearing gloves or not wearing gloves seems to have no effect other than to keep debris from getting into the 1/8-inch deep fingertip fissure.
Hard work is hard work. And we don’t have time to explore solutions that aren’t quick and efficient.
How to fix cracked hands fast
Turns out, there’s a cure. O’Keefe’s Working Hands sent me their hand cream. And, no joke, it worked almost instantly to relieve the pain and dryness an ocean of lotion couldn’t quench. After that it took only a few days for it to help my skin heal and prevent more dry, cracked hands. Goodbye sandpaper hands.
That’s a fast fix that works. One healed thumb up.
