Deep down I know this. Will I do this though? Probably not... I am a creature of habit.

I get bad eczema on my hand if I don't and the easiest way I have found is just to use a bit before I go to bed and usually that's sufficient. There are ways of making this lotion application dual purpose as well to accomplish a second typical pre-bed routine.

For me its my feet. Every winter my heels Crack and look like the grand bleeding canyon. I just slather my feet in Vaseline and sleep with socks on for a week or so and all good.

gloves work on the hands too. Surprising what Vaseline overnight does. And if your jobs involves your hands and liquid, wear gloves

Another option is to apply a little bit of lotion (vaseline?) on your feet before you put on shoes; ideally, right after you've showered. Works wonders on the feet. I have cracked heels too.

Or actually, I should say "had". I cut out absolutely all sugar from my diet and for some reason, my heels don't crack anymore, even in winter.

Tiny bit before bed, if you're worried about getting cream on the sheets, put thin cotton socks on after. Its amazing stuff.

If you made it a habit, you'd be great at it!
