I don't know if you have used your thumb or not, but KGM uses her thumbs all the time. I tried it and it isn't bad. I tried my forearm and I got a much higher reading than on my fingers. Aquaphor is GREAT. Linda sent me some and I love the stuff. Don't know why it is better than Vaseline, but it is. I use the Vaseline and socks trick for my feet right after a bath and it does soften them.

Try soaking your hands in water (tub) and then put Vaseline on your fingers and if you want to look manly, put on cotton garden gloves!
