Have you tried Corn Husker's lotion? I took a pottery class in college (years ago) and because the class was in the winter as well, my hands were a mess. Cracked and bleeding all the time. The only thing that worked for me was Corn Husker's lotion. Its still around. I'm not sure if its still the same formulation, as lots of companies have changed formulas over the years to keep prices down, but maybe its worth a try.
Hi...I found that Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream works really well for me. The cold winter winds up in Canada will strip the moisture out of anyone's skin. It has colloidal oatmeal in it - I'm not exactly sure what it does, but it seems to help my hands. It's also not scented, so it's less irritating. It comes in a little tube at the drugstore.

Aunt Jenny- after reading your comment about liquid bandage, i went out and bought some this past weekend. i have horribly dry hands anyway, but this past saturday we went and volunteered at a local furniture bank where recently homeless can come and get free furniture and housewares to furnish an apartment. i had the job of organizing the bookshelves.the books were SO dusty and the warehouse i was in was not climate controlled and it was FREEZING! needless to say, i can home after two hours with some serious split fingertips. they burned all day. after i go the liquid bandage and applied it, they instantly stopped hurting and the liquid bandage lasted several days and my fingers are now healed. AWESOME stuff! thanks!
