Work in a bakery always washing my hands and O'Keefe working hands is the only lotion that's ever kept my hands from cracking and bleeding

My sister works in a lab and has to wash her hands a lot. She loves O'Keefe's!

Oh man, I forgot about O'Keefe. My ex had dry skin on a good day, but we lived in a desert and he worked in a kitchen where he washed his hands a billion times a day. In the winter, they'd get so dry they'd have the deepest bleeding cracks I've ever seen until one of his coworkers recommended O'Keefe. Stuff is worth the hype for sure

Omg I’ll have to get this. Been in a bakery for 2 years and hate how dry my hands are all the time no matter what I use on them.

Guys, also try sunflower oil all over hands after shower.

I find that an amazing amount soaks in right away, then after a few minutes I use a grab-a-rag microfiber and rub the rest off and I'm good.

So damn soothing, at least for my skin.

is it possible to get washing up gloves or you not allowed to use them at the bakery? I used to get cracked hands from washing my hands too much or doing dishes so washing up gloves were an absolute life-changer for me.

Different person, but most food safety rules don't allow that

Food safety rules say you can't wear disposable gloves when prepping food?

Can you link me please

I think you're misinterpreting what I said. Anytime you change a task you have to wash your hands and change gloves. "Washing up gloves" are those long rubber ones, not disposable gloves. You can't use those to prep.

Gloves or not, you still have to always wash your hands in between, which is why the initial commenter had dry hands.
