a conundrum

mmegaeraHappy New Year. I have a puzzle for you.
I have dry skin. I've always had dry skin. Current health advice suggests frequent hand-washing in order to prevent colds and so forth.
So I have really dry hands. Putting on heavy night creams and wearing gloves to sleep in only goes so far. Besides, the whole process really does interfere with sleep -- and with petting cats who come in to play alarm clock in the morning. Lotion after each handwashing only goes so far as well -- not to mention that there are a number of activities one does not want to participate in with lotion on one's hands (even when it's well rubbed in). Cooking, hand quilting, petting the cats, etc.
Is there a way to follow the current health recommendations and have non-dry skin on one's hands? Without the aforementioned real inconveniences?
