He eventually found a solution by using the cream that veternarians (and farmers) use to lubricate their hands when milking cows! I know it sounds radical ... but it really worked. Good luck!

It comes in a jar like cold cream and is used to moisturize leather covers of books in the rare book room. It doesn't ruin paper like many hand creams can since it is made especially for library conservation. One great side affect is that it treats your hands just like it does the antique leather covers. Maybe you could trade a block of time doing book conservation with the person who does that in exchange for some task that you have.

In the winter it can be even more important to drink more water because of the dry climate. People do not always think of drinking water as a way of helping your skin, but it does. I have learned from living in a very dry climate that water helps your skin. ********************************************************************* Jayne A.
