Tried damn near everything, hand lotions, that Badger balm. Seems likes everything I've tried is greasy and won't absorb into the skin or it smells. Anyone on here use any product they like that works? Coyotes shot no waiting.

It doesn't have much stink to it and it's absorbed into the skin fairly well. It's also decent for shaving.

Best to put on just before bed so that it has a chance to work all night.

Put surgical or so called Disposable vinyl/plasic gloves, before Bed. It really helps. Don't be afraid to re peat the process. HS 58 I Learned a long time ago to Separate My Want's from My Needs!

I don't like it but better than the cracked skin that hurts... Just slather em up with plain old Vaseline then put on latex exam gloves.. A couple of hours two or three days in a row and you're golden..

Gold Bond Men's Everyday Lotion. I keep a bottle by my chair, by the bed and in my truck and shop. It's available at WM and most drug stores but I get it from Amazon. https://a.co/d/21mYDmk Last edited by OlRufus; 11/07/22.
