Default Olive Oil for dry skin?

Steve, I frequently have problems with dry skin in the winter, particularly since I do most of the dish-washing in our family. :-) Smearing olive oil is what works for me, and it works wonders. I don't know what moisturizer you've been using, but most of them have petroleum products or other nasty things in them. I use the same olive oil we use in cooking -- organic extra virgin. It just takes a tiny amount to bring your hands back to life.
