Wisconsin is VERY dry in winter and I usually have cracked fingertips by November. But this year I have prevented it. 1. I put on thick hand cream and wear cotton gloves to bed (I hate this, but it really is helpful). 2. In the kitchen I wear rubber gloves, even if I don't plan to put my hands in water, because often I change my mind! Keeping the hands away from water is important. 3. I bought a supply of these finger covers and I am wearing them on my thumbs, where I usually get bad cracks, most of the day. These fit tightly and allow me to work normally.
