You rub it on your finger tips to help them slide over money or Braille more easily.

Terry,
There is also something called "sort quick" that helps people sort money
quickly.  You can buy it in Office stores.  It comes in a small round
compact type of container.  We use it in our Braille Dept. to help read
Braille Better.

Terry P.,

I don't have calluses so I can't verify this, however, I have done a lot of
work around paper/cardboard and it dries out the hands to the point that
they crack and bleed. Because of this, I am in the habit of using handcreme
all the time. I have noticed that if I am reading braille right after
applying the cream (make sure your hands are thoroughly dry of course) that
I have better sensitivity. Also, if I am drinking a cup of coffee and
warming my fingers on the mug, the braille seems more distinctive.

Let us know if either of these work with your situation.
