I bought a hand cream in a round tin at Lowe's called Working Hands. It's great. Non greasy and has staying power. It works with no frills. Bag Balm (sold in most quilt shops for sore quilting fingers) will heal severe dry cracked skin. Drs Without Borders use it to heal the severe bleeding heels of many of the people who go barefoot in hot dry countries. Walmart use to sell it but changed to another brand that is not as good. Hancock's sells it and most feed stores have it too.
