Badger uke
Well-known member
Does anyone else have very dry skin on there fingers, I have to use some off my wife’s moisturiser creams to make my ukes sound good if I don’t they sound a bit scratchy.
I have a little tube of guitar string lube. It's probably safe for uke fretboards too.
These products have names like finger ease and fast fret.
At work I use my hands a lot and they crack. For a quick-fix I super-glue the cracks and that fixes the problem. If I have more time, I use Working Hands lotion and cotton gloves while I sleep. That usually fixes the cracks within a day or so.
I have the same problem. I have this problem because I work in the automotive industry and my hands always come into contact with metal, oil, fuel oil and other substances not very useful for skin. At first I moisturized my hands with creams in every way, but it didn't help. Then I read the reviews about Leather Work Gloves https://systemofyoursafety.com/top-10-best-leather-work-gloves/, which are used in various fields and help protect your hands. This is how I chose Magid Safety Electrical Gloves, where I have been working continuously for several months now. Hands are no longer dry, I suggest you try it.

Hahahahahaha! Best wisecrack of the week (so far)!Spam works for some people, but it makes my hands smell funny.
The O’Keefe’s Working Hands product that you linked to also makes a lip balm. Unfortunately, not named O’Keefe’s Working Lips.Dry skin is something that needs attention, whether you play the uke or not. There are lots of good products, but this one from Burt's Bees is excellent. The price seems to have gone up since I bought it last. It's now $5.56/ounce. Another good one is Working Hands, at $2.70/ounce.
