Well, I will try it again.  I never tried on damp hands.  Thank you... :)

Well, yes, I know what you mean.  For me, its worth the little inconvience you 
mention.  What I like about the oils vs. the creams is that the more oily 
substances like CO and Shea act as a barrier as well while the creams are 
absorbed.  When hands get wet or exposed to elements they tend to dry out more. 
The oil acts as a healing and protective coating. 

Putting smaller amounts of oil on damp hands will cut the drying time some.
