Help for split fingers

Hi everyone,
If you are like me and suffer from your fingers splitting, I have found a cure that seems to work. They are called Bliss gloves and lotion. I got mine at Sephora about 3 weeks ago. I have used it 3 times a week and my fingers are all healed! As I live in Denver, it seemed impossible to get anything to moisturize my hands, but these have worked.
They are pricey, $54.00, but it is such a relief not to have band-aids on all of my fingers.
Hope this helps,
Emelie

Emelie,

Thanks so much for sharing! I've tried lotions, liquid band-aids, etc. I really appreciate the suggestion.
