Toni,
I usually wear gloves - not all the time - but I have to or my hands will be so horribly dry it hurts. I can't see it peeling either... I get very OCD!!!! but one thing I find is that the polish actually protects my nails... but since I cut the cuticles very deep (its a Brazilian way!) and I started doing it when I was young if I don't do my nails they actually hurt and I start eating them... I am really weird on this!!!!
