So do mine! I agree with what people have said about putting socks or gloves on your hands at night (helps to 'lock the moisture in' or whatever), but I'm really picky about what lotions/moisturizing products I use because most lotions and creams end up making me feel all greasy.
The one product I've found that doesn't make me feel like that at all AND works really well is Nivea Soft. It's really creamy but feels light and silky on your skin. Plus it smells really good!
If you don't have the problem I do with things leaving you feeling greasy (my skin just doesn't seem to absorb most lotions well), then try slathering on Vitamin E cream (I like Fruit of the Earth brand; you can get it at Walmart or places like that) at night before the gloves/socks. It's thicker than lotion and really works well on dry, chapped skin. I use it on my feet (b/c I don't care as much if my feet feel kinda slimy while I'm sleeping, lol) and it keeps them soft and moisturized. I also like the smell of that, which is important since I have a really sensitive nose.
Good luck!

Mix olive oil and brown sugar and scrub your hands with it (you can use this on your whole body in the shower too). This makes your skin VERY soft - and it is a whole lot cheaper than the sugar scrubs they sell in stores.

Carry hand lotion on you constantly. I have the same problem and I carry a bottle of hand lotion with me everywhere.
Also, you can put vaseline on your hands and put socks over your hands at night time when you are sleeping.
It works wonders. :)

I like the nuetrogena hand cream lotion it actually stays on your hands for 24 hours and doesn't give you that vaseline feel to your fingers either

If you live alone the easiest way to do this is to slather on alot of lotion and slide some cotton gloves on and sleep that way. Your feet can get this "spa" treatment with lots of lotion and socks...

keep a small or mini tube or a moisture intensive lotion with you all the time.

use vaseline; it really works, unlike those expensive lotions and potions.
