I feel your pain!...I only check 4-5 times a day and mine are getting that way. I've started putting lotion and cotton gloves on my hands at night once or twice a week to help soften them up a little...I know, it does look funny

, but its working.

We have a good lotion here called "Aquaphor" its almost like Vaseline...and it works well for extremely dry and calloused skin...not sure if its available in Canada or not, but its worth looking for.
