When we lived in Wyo, we found the backs of our hands became so sore, dry, flaky, itchy to the point of bleeding! I also got really dry feet. The ONLY thing that worked was the Say Yes to Carrots Body Butter. It's spendy, but it will save a lot of blood & tears. Now we use it, because even in the South, we're experiencing this, though not AS bad as there. This year, we started early & it has PREVENTED all of the above.
