ok sorry but gotta pimp out a friend. my hands are always too dry due to washing them all the time and my skin is cracked. then I put on lotion and my hands are too greasy to hold my needle and sew with! constant issue, painfully dry hands or unable to sew. NOT ANY MORE! I now am always washing my hands with  bubbledook ( http://www.bubbledook.co.uk/ )and it leaves my hands nice and soft but not too greasy to sew with! it's great! I now use it EVERY TIME before I sew. go check them out!
