vaseline trick also works if you are painting. thin smear will wipe off skin easily and leave hands younger looking. Used to use it when enamel paints were used - not so necessary with modern water based paints.
Another trick is to wash with laundry powder. thsat removes anything including loose fingers etc and stings to buggery in any cut, scratch, skin blemish you've got.
