Hello Everyone! New to the group and just wanted to say hi!

I didn't make myself clear - the problem is that with several of my ultra moisturizing products, there still seems to be some residue *after* washing in warm water, even after a couple of attempts. One says that it will moisturize for 24hours. I need something that strong. I've even used alcohol on top of washing. The best solution that I can find is to find a dry spot on my fingers, which often means on the front of the digit.

Endo said alway wash hands w/ soap & water b4 testing. Use liquid soap to avoid drying. Trader Joes hand a 100% lavendar natural liquid hand soap for $3.29 for 16 oz. It only has four ingredients. I also wash my dog's paws after our daily walk in the park

I cook a lot and wash my hands constantly. I bought a box of nitrile and vinyl gloves, and now use them for things like meat preparation when I'd be washing my hands more vigorously. It helps prevent some of the dryness. Also, I start to wear gloves when the temps get down to 60 degrees. The best cream is at B,B and Beyond called Working Hands. It comes in a green round container. The other product is Healthy Feet. It works equally as well. The only problem that I am having is that I notice that my am readings are higher if I don't wash off some of the creams in the am before I test.

Glad it helped, Marie. The GNC salve is thick, but at least it's spreadable/containable. I ususally get David to help put the bandaid on to keep it secure overnight....

Judith, thanks for the idea of Vitamin E for a painful split. I have had this problem with my hand, and yesterday, I cut open a VitE capsule and put it on there. it helped some (yes, a bit of a mess)
