I don't know if this will work or not but sometimes my hands get dry because I do balloon sculpting, there is talcom powder inside of them. My hands are usually sweaty too but not if I have the talcom powder on my hand from the balloons. You could try a little bottle of talcom powder and just sprinkle it on your hands prior to performing.

Also...I have left a folded up paper towel in each pocket and in between tricks put my hand in my pocket and squeezed them to dry the sweat off.

Also...what about hand sanitizer? It has a tad bit of alcohol in it which will also dry your hands out if you put some on your hand prior to performing. Of course rub them and get it dry first.

Hope one of these works for you or at least helps you out a little.

There are a couple of things you can do that would make sense from a medical point of view.

If you are looking for a permanent solution, then you need to dry out your skin. There are a few ways you can do this. One slow inexpensive way is to buy hand sanitizer that contains a lot of alcohol. Do not buy the ones that have scents in them. You want a plain antibacterial hand sanitizer that contains a lot of alcohol. Use it as often as you can. The alcohol in the sanitizer will start to dry out your skin overtime.

Why alcohol? Alcohol dryes out the skin. This is the ingredient that is found in most face washes or pimple creams that we find at the grocery store.

A faster approach would be to rub rubbing alcohol on your hands multiple times a day. This isn't the best thing to do for your skin, but it will dry your hands out pretty fast after a weeks use.

If your hands are that bad, I would use the second method and follow up at the end of the day with a little lotion to maintain some of the natural oils your hands put out.

Hope that helps.
