Taking care of your hands is a vital but small part of crossfit.  Simple maintenance once a day will keep 'em healthy and tear free.  First off immediately post workout wash your hands of any chalk. Chalk is a dissecant, it dries up the sweat on your hand during a workout, but after it strips moisture from your hands. And supple is what we are after with calluses.
 Sometime during the day, usually after showering is best, use a pumice stone to grind down your calluses. You want to leave a layer of callus but not one so thick that it can't fold or move easily.  After grinding down moisturize with your favorite moisturizer, I'm partial to Burt's Bees Hand Salve but really almost anything will work.  
If your prone to tears, it's best to work harden your hands.  This involves wearing tape or some other covering for half a workout and nothing for the last half, this way you can slowly develop calluses.
