There are a lot of Methods out there for getting tougher skin;
Some are weird: Using a Paste of Whisky & G*npowder
Some are Disgusting: Soaking in Urine from Horse, Human, Sheep, Bear, etc
Some are Dangerous: Soaking in Gasoline, Diesel, formaldehyde (embalming fluid), Etc.
Suffice it to say there was a lot of weird stuff to sort through. Some methods caused stains on the skin, some long term health effects, etc… and yes people actually did all of the above listed things.
Here is what we suggest:
Make 500mls of Brine by adding Pickeling Salt to Boiling water, and stirring until Now more Salt will Dissolves. Then Cool to Room Temp.
Then Add it to 250ml / 1cup of 5% White Vinegar from the Grocery Store, and 500mls / 2cups 95% Ethanol Rubbing Alcohol (NOT Isopropyl).
I made a double batch, and used it to top up as needed. Be sure to store in Seal container in the fridge
If Solution begins to smell Rotten, or show any signs of biological Grow, get rid of it, and start at new batch.
For myself I soaked each hand 5min. Then Let’s dry, and stay on my hands for at least 90min.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MIX IS FLAMMABLE, AND YOU SHOULD AVOID ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION UNTIL IT IS DRY, AND THE CONTAINER IS CLOSED, AND ESPECIALLY NO SMOKING
Twice per week, for a month, and saw noticeable results. ***Don’t exceed 3 months.***

This isn’t Medical Advice, but what has worked for me. You should consult someone with letters after their name in the medical field before under taking anything you read on the internet.
If at any point you start to have a negative reaction to this protocol, you should immediately stop.
