Cuticles

In drier climates, particularly in the winter, cuticles can split to the point of being painful. If you catch them early enough they can be be cleared up pretty quickly. As soon as you feel a small split starting take the tiniest bit of Thentix and rub it in around the area that is splitting. Don't take enough for your whole hand (unless you want that much) but only enough to go on that spot. Generally, even when you take that little bit it is enough to work into the cuticles of several fingers. Repeat this several times a day until the skin is cleared up.

You can also take preventative measures by doing this in the morning and night in the drier, colder weather. Generally, prevention is much better than cure.
