A lot of people wrote requesting the list below, so I posted it on Clayart.

Potter's Favorite Hand Cream List
( I've put clayart people's emails who recommended them where possible)

from tlemak@cox.net
*Arizona Sun skin care and moisturizer*
http://www.arizonasun.com/Moisturizer.html

*Gardeners Hand Repair* -- Vince Pitelka and several others recommended
this one

kgpottery@gmail.com recommends
*Elizabeth Arden Special Purpose 8 hours Creme* - get the original, not
the body lotion version.
As for cracks, nothing to do but put*zinc oxide* on them.

*bag balm -- recommended by several people*

home made lotion from Teresa Gagne tgagne@sasktel.net
Make a scrub: fill a tight fitting jar (maybe one with a bale and
rubber ring) at least half full with quality oil, such a rice bran,
grapeseed, olive, add sea salt or sugar or combination until almost
full, add a few drops of lavender essential oil if you want. Mix by
stirring or turning the jar over and over. Use the mixture to
exfoliate your hard working hands. Repeat in a few minutes for better
results.
