Call me a homopath, but rule number one of skincare must shirley be washing your hands post climbing. I am a regular superchalk abuser and if I don't wash it off my hands end up as dry and cracked as a nuns whatnot. I use antihydral and moisturiser and if you catch me bitching about redtips I will personally drive us to Scunnie for some buildering. If all else fails simply open a large can of Manthefuckup, immerse fingers, then down it in a one-er.

i can't but then that is probably because of my terrible habit of drinking formalin while at work. 

The alternative to having good skin is just get good at climbing with tape on your fingers, plus climbing with tape on your fingers gives you:
a) a great excuse for failure (especially if you lose a comp by one point) and
b) the lingering hope that when you skin finally heals you won't be utterly sh*t  :'( boo hoo
