Okay folks, it's this time of year again, my thumbs are cracked and split with the cold weather so painful,even with cut gloves which I wear are not helping, any body else suffer this.?
 
I used to cover my hands in a load of hand cream and put a pair of socks on my hands before bed , it worked for me
 
Do most of the above to hydrate the skin overnight but also use a nail file or sandpaper to take the rough skin away either side of the split and the area then moisturise. The removal of the hard skin helps the skin to heal quicker.
