3. Frequent hand washing

There’s no wonder why our hands are so dry with how many hand-washing trips we make every single day. Dry and cracked hands can also be caused by frequent hand washing. On top of that, you can also add hand sanitizers that have a high concentration of alcohol and soap.

While it’s essential to wash our hands properly, especially during these times, the prolonged exposure to hot water, alcohol, and soap can take away the natural oils found in our skin. Those splits and cracks on your hands can lead to bleeding and, through an open cut, you can get infected.

Instead of buying a generic liquid hand soap, opt for a moisturizing one and carry it with you every time when you leave the house. This one in particular might help you.

Important! When doing dishes or other cleaning chores, always wear gloves.
