Well I lotion a lot in the morning before makeup, (if my hands are dry in the afternoon I will lotion then) and right before I go to bed and my hands seem to not get dry as much since its the winter. But also I heard of something called a hand scrub with sugar and dawn soap and it supposedly leaves your hands feeling soft, the sugar peels of the dead dry skin when you wash them. Hope that helped :)
THIS WILL SOUND CRAZY BUT WORKS:
a really good trick to use before you go to bed or when you have down time is to use some form of an oil either coconut, babyoil etc something that is going to lock in moisture with a little bit of lotion an then plastic wrap your hands. Leave this on for at least 10 mins( heat them up with a warm towel if there really dry) take it off and you'll feel the difference.
I'm with Whitney W. what a fabulous idea. You can also go to the salon and have a paraffin wax treatment once a month. You won't believe how soft your hands will be after! Oh! Don't forget to exfoliate!
I use lotion several times a day. I keep a travel size bottle in my purse and apply it during school, at home, etc. maybe you're not using lotion often enough.

Vitamin E oil, coconut oil or olive oil. A very small amount works wonders!
