Q: What's the best way to remedy cracked skin?

A: Cracked skin may be inflamed, Kauvar says, so you'll need a cortisone cream to help soothe it (try Aveeno 1% Hydrocortisone Anti Itch Cream, $5.99). If your skin is severely cracked and irritated though, you'll need a prescription cortisone cream to find true relief. In addition to cortisone, you'll need to seal the cracks with a thick ointment like Vaseline Pure Petroleum Jelly, $3.69 or Eucerin Aquaphor Healing Ointment, $8.69. Apply it immediately after bathing then put socks or gloves on (if the cracks are on your hands or feet).

It never gets to cold where I live so my routine doesn't have to change.

I'm sorry but there's no way I'm avoiding my hot winter baths. Honestly I would die without them. Plus I feel 100 times better after taking a bath and putting on lotion. That's my winter routine and I'm sticking to it.

I'm surprised L'Occitane Shea Hand Cream isn't mentioned here. It is rich in vitamin E and shea butter is incredibly moisturizing.
