Soak your hands

If harsh weather or working in an air-conditioned environment has dried out your hands, soak them in warm water for a good 15 minutes. Them seal in the water with lots of skin cream or lotion. Creams work better owing to its thicker consistency.

Moisturiser is dramatically more effective when applied to skin that's been soaked in water. Wear a pair of gloves to bed during the night and wake up to softer and smoother hands by morning. Dont forget to drink more water to rehydrate yourself throughout the day.
