Take A Look At These Hands

I am now washing my hands more regularly than at any point in my life due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I don't wear gloves at work, so after every transaction (handling cash, credit cards, items people are selling or trading) I am washing my hands. Anytime I've gone outside my apartment to run errands and had to open door handles, use ATM or chip reader screens, or just peruse merchandise at a store, I'm washing my hands. I try to avoid using railings and other public surfaces as much as possible. All this on top of the normal hand washing I've always done for basic hygiene and food prep. So far, so good, and no COVID for me. For a while, my hands were drying up, so I started using a Shea's Butter based skin cream after soaping up. It smells nice and I can see how it helps with cracked skin, but lately it hasn't been a problem and I've cut back on using it.
So, how are your hands holding up?

Just curious.

It's been weird retrain myself not to grab on to things or people when I'm out in public. I'm a freak about using hand cream as I hate dry hands.
I've been trying these, and like them all:
I'm a fan of ordering from Vitacost.com for way better deals, especially if you sign up for their emails.

Ned, if you would post a picture of your hands, it would be like a moose's mating call to Beast. He was pretty fixated on your hands.

I'll play. I live in the mountains, but we're high desert adjacent, so it's really dry here all the time. Right now, for example, the relative humidity is 15%, but a lot of days in the summer it doesn't get out of single digits. I've definitely been washing my hands more frequently (and for longer than I used to) since March, and this being gardening season, I'm washing them all the time anymore.
My skin care regimen spans the spectrum from cheap to dear. (St. Mark would no doubt have something to add to this thread; he probably uses a lotion made of the first pressing of clubbed baby seals which is then aged for at least 7 years in oak barrels that once held top-shelf bourbon.) I slather Suave cocoa butter and shea lotion all over my body and use Dr. Bronner's Lavender Coconut organic lotion on my hands. Bag balm is good too if cracks should come.

Take a look at these hands.
Take a look at these hands.
The hand speaks. The hand of a government man.
Well I'm a tumbler. Born under punches.
I'm so thin.
All I want is to breathe. I'm too thin.
Won't you breath with me?
Find a little space, so we move in-between. In-between it.
And keep one step ahead, of yourself.
Don't you miss it, don't you miss it.
Some 'a you people just about missed it! Last time to make plans!
Well I'm a tumbler...
I'm a Government Man.
Never seen anything like that before.
Falling bodies tumble 'cross the floor. Well I'm a tumbler!
When you get to where you wanna be. Thank you! Thank you!
When you get to where you wanna be. Don't even mention it!

Those words have a lot to do
Those words have a lot to do with this thread, Ed. They inspired it. Hearing that song got me thinking about my hands. I work with them every day, cleaning, spinning and pricing records. On good days I get to play guitar, write letters and turn pages of books I'm reading with them. Every day, I use them to make food, open and close doors and windows, brush and floss my teeth, stretch and work out, and keep my body clean.
I used them to cut and paste the link to Talking Heads "Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)" in my original post that Tony, Sigmund and you have all referenced in your posts. It's a good live version from Rome, Italy on the 1980 "Fear Of Music" tour, with Adrian Belew, Daryl Jones on second bass, and Bernie Worrell. This is my favorite Talking Heads line-up. "Don't ya miss it, don't ya miss it, some of you just about missed it."
