They can be worn overnight to help keep both the hands and feet moisturized. I would get some good lotion like Eucerin Intensive Repair hand creme. Use alot so it takes a while to massage it in and then put the socks and gloves on and go to bed. Make sure you use enough so its not completely rubbed in and allow the creme to soak in the rest of the way overnight. Also drink more water.
Where I live its pretty cold. I have several pairs of the spa socks and wear them nightly to bed. Not all spa socks are the same, you want to get the kind that has lotion infused into them.
