Years ago,my Mom was bedridden with terribly dry legs , heels, and elbows. The visiting nurse had me to buy a one pound can of Crisco, just for her. She would message it in, and then cover with cotton socks, and gloves. My Mother had the softest hands and feet in the family. She even tried it on her forehead when a dry attack hit.

It'll make your hands soft and smooth.
When my hands are really bad, I use vasoline and put gloves on, cotton of corse. Or get vitamin E oil with the gloves. Work like a charm

Try bag balm. It's in a green can at your drugstore. It doesn't smell very good but I put hand cream over it. Grease at first but soaks in. My hands are so much smoother and I rub it into my nail beds, no more hang nails and my nails have started to grow again. Hope this helps.
