Just as it is almost certain year after year that the hedgehog will see its shadow and we will have another six weeks of winter, I am sure my hands will be dry and chapped from December to April. I have dry skin in general, so staying hydrated is always a challenge, but in the winter it becomes scaly. My hands really get hit, especially with how much I wash my hands.
One thing that can make a big difference for dry hands? Choose hand soap carefully. Water evaporates easily and quickly on the hands, which can lead to dryness. “Soaps with ingredients like aloe, vegetable oil, shea or cocoa butter, milk protein, coconut oil, vitamin E, and glycerin help keep water on the skin while you’re washing,” says Dr. board certified dermatologist and founder of Visha Skincare.
