My hack: buy a box of cheap, single use plastic gloves, and when you watch TV or even for sleep, put any moisturizer or even oil on your hand, pull on the gloves, and just let your skin "marinate" for at least 30 mins, but the longer, the better. Repeat every few days or as needed. The gloves stop your skin from soaking up the cream too quickly, and will super-boost your hidration. You can even add actual outdoor gloves on top, the warmth also helps the hidration. Also works with coarse and dry feet, except I use foil or plastic bags to wrap them up, and put socks on.

I feel both happy and a little bothered that this was my first thought as well. Gotta keep it soft for the wife. That being said my hands do the same thing as OP's. Maybe I should try it.
