Nice. I'd keep that for the day.

To get rid of the dry skin, at night time I recommend using a slightly heavier moisturiser such as :
https://www.savers.co.uk/skin-care/body-care/dry-medicated-skin-treatments/okeeffes-working-hands-96g/p/704752

Savers link as its usually the cheapest and this is slightly more expensive than Neutrogena, although it will also last a decent amount of time if using it just at night.

Then put these gloves on (or something similar as I think the ones in the link below are probably too small for most men)

The combination gives your hands a chance to recover at night.

During the day don't use fairy to wash your hands, always use real hand wash and then thoroughly dry your hands.

That should make a big difference.

You might also want to use marigolds when doing the washing up / use the dishwasher instead of washing up and the dishwasher uses less water anyway as long as you run it when full not just everyday regardless of how much is in it.

I hope that helps

Working hands has been recommended a lot. I’ll definitely try that
