My finger tips tend to lose oil and split any time I wash them frequently and especially in winter.
Here are the best preventative measures I've found:

Wearing disposable rubber gloves when mechanicing. The grease can be easily washed off the gloves with dish washing liquid while they're still off my hands.
When washing my hands with warm water I immediately cool them with cold water so the skin contracts and body oil isn't wiped off on the towel and doesn't evaporate. I can feel the pores contracting. To me, the thermal shock is worth not having stinging cracked fingers.
Less natural oil is rubbed out of my skin if I pat rather than rub with a towel.
After washing I use some type of moisturizer.
Any better suggestions are welcome
