Use a strong lotion, then your cocoa butter balm, then Vaseline!! You need an initial lotion, the balm and Vaseline will trap that moisture in. Maybe slather and wear some gloves overnight too

And wearing gloves is so impractical bc it takes too much time to switch them out

When I was a dishwasher, I used working hands lotion and it worked fairly well

we don’t have a specific dishwasher it’s just do them when you can and when needed and work together when closing but we do have a very large up to my shoulder long pair of rubber gloves for doing dishes! i used them during closing when there’s lots of dishes to do but in the middle of a shift i just bare hand it
