So i do not see any comment about it so I’ll add my two cents since something similar (except mostly on my fingertips) used to happen all the time for me and eventually figured out it was mainly due to lack of vitamin D which you do not get anywhere close as much during winter since you don’t get much natural sunlight, so using Vitamin D supplements of any kind really helped me personally to prevent this from happening. Moisturizing also works after your hands look like this already.

I live in a sunny country but this started happening to me in my mid 20s during my depression, I spent a lot of time indoors gaming. Never happened earlier in my life. Got out of my depression and started leaving the house more and it's never happened since.

So yeah I think it's vitamin D also.

So can age. I started noticing drier hands in general when I hit my mid/late 30s
