Do any of you have chronic hangnails?

I have them all the time. Anyway to avoid getting some many of them?

• Run a humidifier, especially in the winter.

• Chicken fat (seriously). One thing I learned from my grandma, always prepare fresh chicken yourself and rub the skin over your nails and cuticles before washing. Once a week is enough (she alwys served chicken on sundays) Another was to never allow bleach or ammonia to touch your skin.
