I get bad splits in my thumbs at the start of the gardening year (despite gloves). Very, very painful. Nothing seems to help, although Sudocrem is the best of what I've tried (inc. Neutrogena, Lotil, E45, vaseline etc)All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

Krakattack for farmers' hands - available from Packington Pork farm shop and probably something you can get mail order from somewhere. Cleared my mother's cracked and chilblained hands in two days. I gave my pot to her and now need to buy another. It's magic stuff.Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein

Years ago I used to suffer very bad splitting when tiling bathrooms in the winter, tile cement had not been invented and we used a kind of mortar that took all naturals oils out of the skin. Yes weeing on your hands does work but could not recommend it for the ladys as it hardens your skin as well.
