Gnarly Hands

So my job involves working with food (well actually I'm more of a foods stocker) so I have to wash my hands "after every possible contamination" which I do (unlike some of my co-workers ).

As a result my hands have become very dry and cracked - something that has never happened on this scale before.

In addition to the above problem, the skin on my hands also have obtained a "streched out" feeling. It feels as if my skin is so tight, it feels like when I strech my hands out (as if I'm making a 5) it literally "springs" back into the sei-fisted posistion.

I've tried lotion, but for the 8 hours I'm at work, I cannot use any. And it seems like the stocking job just wicks away any moisture I might have.

And plus the fact that it doesn't seem "manly" to use lotion doesn't help either but I'm willing to try.

So whatchu got for me?
