I’m already wearing 5 layers

Why would you need more than 3 layers? Is your middle layer not insulating enough? Are there exposed parts of your body? If you don't feel like wearing a scarf or mask, some vaseline on the nose/cheeks can help.

    Tried the Vaseline cause I'm not allowed to wear scaves or masks at work where it's also cold af. Didn't work. Same with trying to wear 3 layers of cottom gloves while working which didn't stop my hands from being in pain from the cold (they get cold faster than anything else on me) and more hinders my ability to work efficiently. I'm only comfortable when in a 70-85° area (or whatever my shower can get to at max heat). Any less and I'm freezing, but I can handle a decent bit more.

    3 layers of cotton gloves

    Big, bulky mittens, hopefully your jacket has straps on the wrist so no heat escapes there. If you need to use a touch-screen, they make 1-finger mittens.

    My problem is with having to twist my hands and bend my fingers around my hook a lot. Work only allows the cotton gloves they supply which get changed out often due to them getting soaked fast which only makes it colder. They gave me these sleeve things which are extremely tight, but even wrapping them around the ends of the gloves doesn't stop my hands from freezing.
