Cracked red hands

This cold weather is not doing my hands any good... my skin is bright
red, cracked, and flaking. The other night when I put on my gloves my
hands were burning like they were on fire... Water seems to make them
worse. I think that the primary cause is sweaty gloves and cold
weather.

Any tips to help clear this up? (that don't include not riding). I've
been carrying two pair of cheap gardening gloves to wear inside of my
warmer gloves, one to ride in to work and one to ride home in and
washing them frequently. Creams and lotions just seem to make it burn
more without doing much to clear them up. Just remembered my tin of
bag balm from a few years back -- might give that a try tonight. Any
other ideas?
