I have both nitrile and also Atlas whenever I can find them in size small. My MIIL gave me my first pair of Atlas some 15-odd years ago. She kept sending to me since I could never find them in my size locally. I just never have been comfortable wearing gloves. I get hot and I can't feel the soil. I have 3-4 pair laying around here, somewhere. That would be the first defense against the elements. I guess I'd better start getting used to them.

Silicone Glove is not strong enough. Avon used to make an AshTherapy hand cream that had Shea Butter and petroleum jelly in it. I loved it but they discontinued it. I've used Amlactin back when it was RX. It has an Alpha Hydroxy in it. It is very good when used regularly. Actually it is good all over your body. I have had some luck with Udder Balm. I might go back to that and the hoof cream that makes you nails strong, too. It's time to give my hands the treatment they deserve!
Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love Truly, Laugh
uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you Smile.
