Had anyone used skin friendly skin protect http://www.skinfriendly.com/
Or Liquid Gloves http://www.liquidgloves.co.za/
or http://www.glovesinabottle.com/dry-skin.html Gloves in a Bottle
Or any similar product? I am hoping to find something to protect my hands from becoming dry and chapped instead of just finding a way to fix them once they get dry and chapped. I am going to order some BagBalm to use on my hands but would like something else.
Thanks

I haven't used any of the aforementioned products, but will put in a recommendation for Burt's Bees Hand Salve. It works great either to heal chapped/cracked hands or to avoid said situation in the first place. Might be a bit on the expensive side depending where you are but IMO worth every penny.
My husband works outside doing yard/landscaping work and he swears by it as well. It's always in his stocking come Christmas....with the understanding that I can 'borrow' it as needed. :)

Haven't used any of the above but have used a wonderful product called Hand Shield by Jungle Brolly, http://www.junglebrolly.com/us/nurses.html
you can get it in most pharmacies. Fantastic barrier cream that lasts over 4 hours even with repeated hand washing, as it's the water and soaps that dry our hands, it has Aloe Vera, Jojoba etc in it. I keep the small size in my handbag 30ml but you can by the bigger pump bottles which would last you a good 5-6 months. give it a go, it's worked for me....P.S it's not sticky either!
