You might need to buy new grips, i think there is no way around it.

Rubber deteriorates over time. Some times soaking rubber in brake fluid"rubber conditioner " helps allow the rubber to soften and return to a flexible state.
I am not sure what would happen if you try this on your grips then clean them thoroughly ..... But replacement grips are like 8 bucks on eBay and amazon ..... So Buy new grips or go to a motorcycle junk yard and pull some haha Or snag a set of your neighbor's bicycle |

The palms of my gloves are turning black because of the grip. So, I don't think this is a deterioration issue - I noticed it from the get go.
