Latex gloves?

Dry hands can be such a nuisance, especially after a wash. Have you tried using latex gloves before? They're a great option for protecting your skin and keeping it moisturized. When it comes to thickness, it really depends on your personal preference and the task you're using them for.
 
I grew up in a different era (1960s/1970s). Hard, dry, tough, dirty, stained, beat-up hands were the norm if you worked on cars and were even seen as a "badge of honor".

The only times I ever remember using gloves were when I was using paint strippers and acidic metal conditioners, and I didn't even always use them then. Solvents, i.e., mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, acetone, etc., to clean my hands when necessary were the norm.

Nowadays, I do have a box of Harbor Freight 3 mil nitrile gloves in the shop for rare and extreme occasions, but I can't even remember the last time I used them. The box is probably about five years old and it's still nearly full.

***** Times, they are a changin' *****
 
Adenna Dark Light 9 mil black nitrile make those Ravens look like a joke.
Ravens are our 1 use nothing serious gloves and never reuse them.
The Adenna Dark lights I use until they get nasty with oil or something similar.
 
I wear Gloveworks nitrile gloves when working with chemicals but my hands sweat so bad in them that I hate wearing them.

Damn.

I felt really bad about his mom's irritating dry skin issue and her pain while doing dishes, too.

I've found that a medium thickness is good for general household chores, but if you're working with harsh chemicals, a thicker pair would be better. Talking about brands, I prefer disposable latex gloves for not having this rubber scent. You could check it out. Hope it helps!
