I also have dry hands so I keep a bottle of Aveeno hand lotion in a couple locations throughout the sewing room so when I feel my hands are getting dry, I dab a spot of lotion on my hands. Don't want to put too much on as it might transfer to the fabrics.
When I think about it I have a bottle of hand lotion throughout the house so when I feel my hands getting dry I dab a spot on them especially right after I get done with doing the dishes. Yes, I still wash dishes by hand and yes I have a dishwasher but its full of my empty canning jars. I store them in there so I don't have to trek down to the basement for them when I'm in the mist of canning. As its only me here, not too many dishes get dirty and I like to wait till my dish pan is starting to get full and then I do them. Still its about every day or other day for me.
