Default my hands and feet

Over the past year or so i've noticed that my hand and feet were realy getting dryer and dryer after each dive.
What could i do to try and prevent te condition from getting worse. I hydrate them with cream after each dive but it doesn't seem to realy help

Try drinking water to hydrate yourself prior to and after the dive. Also, dont take a hot shower following the dive, this can also lead to dry skin. One hand cream I found works real well is Eucerin.
