Hi,
A little while ago I made a change and moved from working in an office environment to being a HGV driver. One thing I've found though is that since I made this change the skin on my hands is really dried out and I'm getting calluses forming on my fingers which I really, really don't want. I'm putting this down to occasionally getting stuff such as Diesel traces on my skin (Although I wear gloves and keep a clean cab it's impossible to completely avoid).
So my question is for people who work in similar conditions on a daily basis; how do you protect and care for your hands? Are there any recommended over the counter treatments for this? I've been using moisturisers which slightly helps with the problem but it always comes back after a day or two of not using it.
Thanks.
