Thanks, great advice everyone. I have dozens of white cotton gloves and I’m going to slather my hands in some of the recommended stuff before bed.

I used to use Jergen’s lotion on my hands and feet every night, but recently, at my daughter’s suggestion, switched to Aveeno. Either one works. In winter I also wear socks to bed but that is to keep warm because of poor circulation. I’ve never used gloves, but I do keep my hands under the covers.
