I swear by Kiehl's Cuticle Cream, it's a bit pricey, but a little goes a long long way, i have had a jar last well over 3 months, and I use it almost everyday. I handle a lot of paper all day long, and this is the only thing that not only provides relief, but my nails look heathly, and don't break as often.
I will occasionally squeeze a vitamin e capsule around my cuticles after a shower/bath for a hand 'spa' treatment.
