So, in general, my hands take a lot of abuse from work. No matter what I do though, I can't seem to repair, or prevent, any cracks that I get around my cuticles and finger nails. Every night I apply Solar Oil around my cuticles, followed by hand repair cream from Eucerin concentrated on my cuticles and finger tips. Twice a week I use Sally Hanson's 15 Second Cuticle Dissolver to remove any dead cuticles that may split. I also rotate between Sally Hanson's Triple Strong Nail Fortifier, and OPI's Nail Envy as a base for my nails.
Now, I know that the cuticle dissolver isn't drying my fingers out any, because I had this 'dry skin' issue before I even started using that, though my splitting cuticles were becoming bad so I started using the dissolver.
No matter what I do, or how often, my cuticles and the beds around my finger nails in general are peeling, cracked, and dry.
What else can I possibly do? Is there a stronger cuticle oil than solar oil? Something more concentrated? Also, my nails are literally paper thin. Do you recommend any other/better strengtheners than what I've listed?
Please help my poor, poor fingers out.
