My hands get really dry as well.  I wear gloves in the tank, my hands do get wet, but most importantly I use coconut oil to moisturize my hands and then wash them with clear water for at least 2 minutes before I go into the tank.  I will put an Aveda hand cream at night, and then make sure I was really well in the shower.  

 

Did you have your water checked? There's a possibility that it's contaminated.

You can buy a home test kit with a package of strips that contain reactants. If the strips change color, that means there's a presence of certain contaminants. Another option is to find a reputable laboratory near your area. You can check with the water authority in your place.
