Put vaseline on them at night and put a pair of socks over your hands, so the vaseline does not get everywhere. In the morning, your hands will be soft. You may want to try the vaseline on your hands, then steaming them, then the socks. This works well too. Just run the hot water in the bathroom sink for a while, and after you put the vaseline on, put your hands through the steam. Good luck!

wash ur hands in saline water& massage with honey once a week

There is a product called bag balm, in some drug stores, definitely in a farm and feed store. It is used for cow udders, works great on dry skin.

I live in Canada, so I understand. Bath and Body Works or The Body Shop have gloves that you wear at night with any hand moisturizer that prevent your hand from getting over-dried during the day. The gloves work like a charm, even my friend with eczema uses them. Good Luck.
