Overgrip for super dry hands

I have really dry hands. I have been using Gamma Supreme overgrip. It works greats but also chafes my hand a lot. After a 2 hour match, my hand looks dry and white from all that chafing. If I play everyday, I end up getting cuts all over my fingers as the top layer of skin is chafed away, as there isn't enough time between matches for the skin to heal. I tried Tourna grip but that is only good for me when I sweat and the grip becomes wet. It doesn't provide any grip when my hands are dry like when the weather is below 70F. Any suggestions for grip for dry hands? I grip the racket really loose to generate massive topspin. The grip should be tacky enough so the racket doesn't slip out of my hands when I make big swings, at the same time it shouldn't chafe my hand so I can keep playing everyday. If there isn't such a grip, is there a cream or gel that I can apply to my hand to prevent the chafing? I tried taping fingers but playing with all the fingers taped isn't easy.

I use MSV cyber wet which grips in almost any weather. Only when it is cold and extremely low humidity it loses its tack. Then I simply pour a tiny bit of water on it. And when I really sweat in summer I turn to TournaGrip.

Most grips absorb sweat. Its clearly pulling the moisture right out of your hands. A. use a thick moisturizer at night, like neutrogena or something like that. B. get a tackier grip like Tourna Mega Tac. The tackier grips are, generally the less they absorb sweat.

My hands never sweat, I've been using Gamma Neon Tac overgrips. They give me the same feel as Gamma's Hi Tech grip which I really like.

Well,

If you like the Supreme try the Volkl Super Grip II and Solinco Wondergrip.

They have a similar tack as the Gamma, but maybe different enough to help stop that chafing and still do what you need.
