Never tried a barrier cream
The best thing i find (for when i really need the hands clean ie going on vacation)) is joy dish washing soap with a bowl of clorox bleach next to the sink and an SOS pad. Lather the hands dip in the clorox and scrub with the brillo pad repeat until all the ground in stuff is gone. Some times pouring sugar on the hands while doing this helps (great grit)
As you can see I only do this for special occasions other wise ground in dirt is fine with me0 -

Hoofmaker
Walmart sells a product called "the Hoofmaker" that works somewhat as a shield to make hands easier to clean up.
It really shines though as a conditioner after you've got your hands all chapped from fluxes, etc... It spreads on easily, dries in a minute or so, has no perfumey smell, and I PROMISE you it isn't greasy. (I'd rather have chapped hands than greasy hands)
It used to be found in the animal products section of the store, but they finally got it approved for human use. Give it a try! Kevin0 -
hand care
A company called Marion Health& Safety made a complete line of skin protection products. They had "Protective Glove", which you squeezed out of the tube and rubbed into your hands, and once it dried, it was invisible & greaseless, and even the most sticky paint washed right off. They had another product that worked the same way, only for solvent based products like parts cleaner or mineral spirits. A waterless hand cleaner and an odorless non-greasy skin conditioner finished it out. Check with any safety supply house. Also, Johnstone Supply (and probably others, too)carry premoistened hand washers in a plastic bucket that work very well, too.0 -
clear shield
This stuff is so good that you can literally put your hands in wood stain and just wipe them off!!!
Great product. I use to buy it from a local dealer who has since moved on. DO you have a web site address for them??

hand cleaner
ooooohhhh no not the dishes,lololol,thanks guys i was told as well that it's better to wash your hands in cold water duw to if you wash them in hot water your the pores in your hands open up and allow the dirt to sink into your skin,whether it's true or not is a different matter.
i will try and search these products out and let you know,
thanks so much
all the best

Best Handcleaner.
Lien waterless handcleaner. Contains Glycerine and Lanlin.
This stuff evens cuts right through NeverSeeze. Haven't had to find it lately... The one gallon container I have is probably 30 years old.

Hot Water
Using hot water and detergents strip away the protective oils from your skin where warm or cool water reduces this. Add cold weather, dry air and your hands can become raw
Assuming you don't have a latex alergy that prevents you from wearing gloves, you can coat your hands with eucerin,desitin,A&D, bag balm, etc and put latex gloves on when you're not at work. This helps heal them and the oils in the ointments help remove the imbeded grease, dirt, etc.
Best Wishes

hand cleaner
For everyday care I use Neutrogena Hand soap and hand cream it was invented by Norwegian fishermen who were faced with some of the roughest conditions on earth . I try to wear latex gloves alot but not all=ways so I do need a good cleaner . I find my hand would get rough and fingers crack in the winter . So this keeps my hands soft and women dont like it when your hands are like 60 grit sand paper . Very inportant indeed . By the way it is usually kept with the cosmetics and stuff at the drug store where I buy it so get your wife to get it . lol Mitch0 -

Clean hands
I've found regular hair shampoo works pretty good also, made to cut oils and a little kinder to the hands than dish soap.
Cheers,
Jim0
