In addition to creams and lotions of your choice, also turn down your indoor heating temperature by a couple of degrees or more.
Indoor heating circulates dry air.
Also run a humidifier.
Humidity is very good for skin.
If you don't have a built in humidifier, get a warm mist humidifier ($20 - $40 at WMT or CT).
Avoid contact of your skin with water as far as possible (other than regular shower and washing), esp. hot water.
If condition persists beyond a week or 10 days, ask your Dr. to refer you to a dermatologist.
There are prescription creams for such conditions.

TK: In most offices I know of, it is against the rule to wear scented products due to allergies. Perfumes, lotions or anything.
scent free products are always better as offices are different and people's tolerances are different.

Right now I am using vaseline white petroleum jelly. Sicky though. This evening I will look out for other stuff.
It's so darn cold here, -28 C this morning without wind chill. With the public transit strike things are really messed up.
