Arrived in Oz on the 20th Feb. Starting going for some swims on the 22nd. Started using Aveeno moisturiser on the 20th as well when my hands swelled up and started splitting apart. Amazing result, skin soft now, splits healing! Feel a lot better than the pictures show.
Bright red and very tender and sore last few days. Here's some pics today, out of the shower, haven't put any moisturizer on yet. Tight, dry, splitting, not as red as past days though:
