Being a clay artist my hands are extremely dry. I've found the best thing to wash them with is shaving cream from the dollar store. I've found a brand made for women that has a wonderful raspberry scent.
Use hand sanitizer on your hands after you've eaten, to get rid of sticky messes when you don't have soap and water available. It removes all traces of "stickiness" and works when dry napkins or paper towels by themselves just don't work.
Our house is 100 years old and any activity on the plumbing affects the water pressure. When someone is in the shower it is a big problem. I have added anti-bacterial gel next to the sink so if you need to "wash" your hands the person in the shower doesn't get scalded.
To get a head start on summer toes and hands, here is an idea you can start right now. I usually wear white socks with my gym shoes or boots and at night after my bath or shower. Whenever I have on white socks, I will slather on petroleum jelly on my feet to keep them soft.
Before I start working in my garden, I put a thick coat of lotion on my hands then I put on my cotton garden gloves. When I finish in the garden, I pull off the gloves and have very soft hands.
I have a terrible time in the winter with dry skin. I do housecleaning, so my hands are in the water a lot so it's probably no wonder! Anyway, I was working last Friday afternoon and the lady I was working for told me about a concoction she had heard about for extra dry skin.
Give your hands a massage they will never forget! Squeeze a small amount of baby oil into your palm, a puddle of oil about the size of a dime, and then add the same amount of granulated sugar to the oil.
Liquid antibacterial soap is so expensive and maybe not good for your health. I buy Suave scented shampoo when it is on sale at a rock bottom price. Fill your liquid soap dispenser 1/3 full of the low cost Suave and then fill the rest with nice warm water.
