    Well, I am sure you will get a ton of advice on this subject, but you
    might try parrafin wax (you dip your hands in it, take them out, let
    them cool & then remove the wax.) It leaves your hands soft, but not
    slimy like lotion may. Most bed, bath, beyond stores or similar sell
    a little kit that heats the wax, etc. 

    If you were a lotion person I would also suggest Restoration
    Hardware's No-Crack hand cream--it is a great moisturizer, but it
    will leave your hands slimy for a while--you just have to suffer
    through the slime to have hands that have "no cracks". It is not one
    of those heavily scented kinds so you don't have to worry about
    smelling like a flower for the rest of the day. I will be interested
    to see what others have to say on this subject.
