Get some barrier cream bit messy in the gloves so you will need disposable gloves as a liner.
It'll soften up the skin in a few days.

That's the stuff I use. It pongs a bit and it takes a good few days to really start having an effect but it does the job.

Hi Paul, If you can find a supplier who promotes colloidal micelles technology ask them for a heavy duty cleaner/degreaser version as they are very concentrated and you only require a small amount in water to make a safe and effective blading solution, with colloid chemistry there are no residues left behind on glass surfaces, and they are also very safe on your skin. I have been using this technology for years as a hair and body shampoo in the shower. Its also safe and effective as a hand cleanser, just dilute some with water into a foam dispensing pump bottle and away you go.    Tadgh

Hi Dave, if you dampen the cloths with some micelles solution, when you wake in the morning they will be spotless.    Tadgh

Just for clarity, Tadgh, the same stuff you put in your bucket to clean windows is what you keep in the shower to clean your body and hair?

Hi Darren, Yes i use the same solution to wash the car, dishes,clothes,floors,windows,carpets,upholstery,leather,UPVC,and yes myself, colloid chemistry is safe to use on any surface washable with water, have been using it for years without any problems.

Hi Ross, Its Bio-Kleen heavy duty cleaner/degreaser one product that you can use for cleaning any surface, you just dilute it at different ratios depending on the task at hand.    Tadgh

Snowfire is what you need.

Boots or Asda chemist, used it every winter for last 5 years. Or change to WFP then you don't need soap.

Cheers Tadgh. I'll be adding that to my next order in a few weeks time.

Does Beyond Kleen also use colloidal micelles technology?

I only ask because that is the best glass cleaner I've ever come across by a long, long way.

I had the same problem for many years after burning some fingers with concrete.

Every winter they would split open and after starting to use WFP they got even worse.

The only thing that helped me was Neutrogena hand cream before and after work and making sure that I always wore a pair of Nitrile disposable glove replacing whenever damaged. I had to do the same when doing any DIY type work around the house. After 6 months of wearing them for all work my splits cleared up and have never come back.

Thanks trying to find a supplier of colloidal micelles in uk . Last time I tried getting snowfire was told it had been withdrawn from sale, dermatologist given me some stuff to treat splits but rather prevent them .
