[Routine Help] I wash my hands over 100 times a day for work - and am paying for it dearly with cracked bleeding cuticles.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I am a nursing student and soon to be nurse. At my job, in my placements in hospitals, and now as a habit, I wash my hands well over 100 times a day (rough estimate...could be a lot more). Sometimes with soap and water but almost always with alcohol based hand rub.Several years ago I had these beautiful cuticles.. http://imgur.com/a/0SyAANow my hands are cracked, bleeding, chunks of my cuticles are "missing", I have new hangnails every day, and all-over dryness.I try to not wash or bathe with water that is too hot or cold, use moisturising hand soap, a moisturiser every every chance I get, especially in the morning and before bed. I have started using cuticle oil in the morning and at night. But my hands, and especially my cuticles and around my nails remains cracked, ugly and sore.I'm wondering if I can get moisturiser recommendations or routine suggestions. I need something that is really going to heal my hands and keep them healthy. I feel very uncomfortable having so many small cuts and "entry points" on my hands for bacteria/germs.PRODUCTS: * Moisturiser: Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hands Stronger Nails Lotion * Soap: Dove Cool Moisture Hand Soap * Cuticle Oil: Burts Bees Cuticle Creme
