For years I've been plagued with skin cracks or fissures on my fingertips, especially in winter.

After a weekend of cooking, chores, or gardening, my hands were a painful mess.

No lotions, oils, or creams helped much, and it's impractical to keep fingertips bandaged all the time.

I picked up a jar of O'Keeffe's Working Hands at my grocery store and have been using it for two weeks.

It has completely changed and improved the texture of my skin.

No more ragged cuticles either, and even my fingernails are stronger.

It is completely odorless and not greasy.

Their advertising says it's the high concentration of glycerin that does it.

Whatever it is, it feels like a miracle to me.

It took me a while this winter to realize that it's much better to prevent hangnails and cracked fingertips and their ilk than to deal with them.

Doh!

$9.49 (I paid $7.39 in 2013).

O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet Cream: $9.51 ($8.37 in 2013).
