Winter season is soon, Most of us will spend time outdoors studying, working, playing with the snow, and so on. The cold weather can lead our hands to get rough and cracked. In this article, I will try to deal with effective tips to moisturize dry cracked hands and protect them from extreme weather.
The Most Common Causes of Dry Hands
Chemical products: chemicals damage the outer skin layer of the hands, and it leaves the skin vulnerable to all kind of problems. That is why it is recommended to use gloves while using chemical products.
Hot water: many people use hot water for handwashing but they don’t dry their hands when they finish or moisturize their hands. This can lead hands to dryness and brittle nails as well.
Soap: sometimes people use unsuitable soaps for their hands. Try to use nourishing natural soaps that are made with oils or milk.
Other factors such as aging, genetic factors, and skin diseases like eczema.
