Tips for chronically dry hands caused by cold weather

It's started already now the temperature's dropped below ten degrees. My hands are raw, cracked and starting to bleed. Happens every year, and I'm worried that if it's this bad now, it'll be ten times worse come December.

Can anyone share any tips? Feels odd wearing gloves so early in the year but maybe that's the answer. I've started applying thick hand cream (E45, emollient from chemist) but so far to no avail.

I'm also now wondering whether I should have posted this on the Health board but hopefully someone on S&B can help 😊

Use marigolds for housework. Thermal gloves for outside / look in an outdoor shop rather than a fashion shop.
For me the best cream is neutrogena Norwegian formula. Apply little and often. But thick layer once in bed at night.
