      If you work with your hands then no amount of hydration will solve this. You build up calluses and that’s what causes the rough spots and catches on the MF.

        I think it’s fair to say I work with my hands, what with setting tile. I don’t let my hands get gross but lots of my coworkers do.

        You might be able to handcuff them with a dry microfiber, but the cloth just slips off of my hands

      Dry skin is mostly caused by not enough oils being on your skin, which normally prevent the water from escaping. You’ll have a hard time hydrating so much that that’s no problem at all.

      But at the same time, the cheapest lotion will do the trick. In principle, you can even use sunflower oil or similar. The water isn’t picky from what oil it gets blocked…
