Boycie Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Any workers out there with split skin on the end of your thumbs? (Obviously not Daveo) the cold weather causes it, sore as foooook. Keep catching it and it opens up a bit more and bleeds. Its making me wince like a girl. any advice from the real men out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Real men? That's me then... 1) Wear nice thick gloves ( make sure they match your gilet though). 2) Moisturise well..especially important after long bath with candles. 3) Get your wife to do it...you're too busy ironing and cleaning to be outside anyway.

jono Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Vaseline ... Very good ... Discovered by accident by oil workers in Alaska .. Petroleum jelly. Worked so well they made the product we all know so well. Has other uses as well so I'm told. And if you ever cut yourself and it's a bit deep I always put honey under the plaster. Kills bacteria, it doesn't sting and somehow it always seems to heal quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to post the same thing. This is the best stuff. A guy in a Glasgow pub also advised the Snowfire stick https://www.amazon.co.uk/Snowfire-2163343-18g-Ointment-Stick/dp/B001RYOOPA But having tried both - the Working Hands one is way better.
