10 Solutions for Rough, Dry, OverworkedHands—Male or Female!

Do you have rough, cracked, dry hands? Think you can’t do anything about it? Think again!

Even if you’re working construction every day, or have your hands constantly in water, you can take steps tohelp repair, protect, and soothe your hands, so that you can feel equally comfortable at work or headed out toa nice restaurant for dinner.

What Causes Hands to Crack and Bleed?


4 2/19/2016



3/14

We all know that our hands suffer when we expose them to bad weather, lots of water, dirt, chemicals, and thesun, but why is this, exactly?

The most common cause of dry, cracked skin is a compromised outer layer. Skin is made to hold ontomoisture and to naturally rejuvenate itself, but exposure to the sun, cold air, wind, dirt, chemicals, and more,can gradually damage this layer, so that skin can no longer hold onto moisture. Damaged skin is also morevulnerable to environmental pollutants and UV radiation, which can accelerate dryness and aging.

The following factors can all contribute to a damaged, compromised outer layer in skin:

Dry air. Air such as that which occurs in dry climates and during the cold, winter months, sapsmoisture out of the skin.Water.

People who consistently have to wash their hands or immerse their hands in water experience aloss of moisture, as the water steals the skin’s natural moisturizing oils away.Chemicals. People who work with chemicals on a daily basis, or who regularly use chemical-based household cleaners, often have severely chapped hands. These chemicals rob the skin of its ownmoisture, and damage the outer layer, leaving skin vulnerable to all kinds of problems.Soap. Old-fashioned soap bars are drying to the skin. Many of today’s commercial cleansers and hand soaps also disrupt skin’s normal integrity, which slows the natural process of skin repair and createsdryness and cracking.

Other factors, such as medical skin conditions (like psoriasis and eczema), allergens, and certain medications,can also contribute to dry, cracking skin.

10 Ways to Rejuvenate Overworked Skin

If your hands are suffering, try these tips to make them more comfortable.

Avoid soap if you can. Avoid formulas with synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and sulfates, as these

are all drying. Foaming and antibacterial types are also likely to strip your skin of its own natural fatsand oils. Choose moisturizing cleansers instead, and be sure you rinse thoroughly.

1.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. After each and every wash, moisturize your hands. Carry2.

moisturizer with you. Try our Coconut Body Oil —it absorbs easily, so you won’t feel greasy, and soothes skin damaged from the sun.Avoid hot-air dryers. There are becoming more and more popular because they save money and theenvironment, but they can easily dry-out your hands. Pat-dry with some toilet paper or simply shake

dry, then put on your lotion!

3.

Wear gloves. You may already do this, but sometimes we forget. The best treatment is always

prevention, so whether you’re out on the job, gardening, or simply washing the dishes, gloves will help

protect your hands from damage. Avoid vinyl ones, however, as they can make skin even more dry.Use cotton and leather.

4.

Exfoliate. We have learned to exfoliate our faces, but we often neglect our hands. Yet the skin on the

hands—especially on the back of them—is thin, fragile, and even more susceptible to damage thansome areas of the face. Exfoliating helps you get rid of old, dry, dull skin cells so the newer, fresher

ones can take their place. If you’re severely dry and calloused, try a pumice stone after bathing. If you’re dry but have sensitive skin, try our Dead Sea Facial Scrub —it’s equally effective for hands. You

can also put about 1-2 tablespoons of sugar in your hands, add in some olive oil, and rub both the frontand back of your hands to loosen up that dry, dull skin. Use 1-4 times a week, depending on your skin’sneeds, and always apply a moisturizing lotion immediately afterwards.

5.

Wear gloves to bed. Damaged hands need serious moisturization, so it’s time to deep-treat overnight.Apply a super thick moisturizer like our Coconut Honey Mask , some jojoba oil, or vitamin E, then gosoak in the bath or the sauna, or better yet, put on some cotton gloves or wool socks and go to bed. Youcan also try placing Ziploc bags around your hands with rubber bands around your wrists to lock in themoisture. Rinse off in the morning.

6.

Use a humidifier. Particularly in the winter and in dry climates, a humidifier can be a lifesaver when itcomes to your skin. The most important place to have one is in your bedroom, so you can takeadvantage of it while you sleep.

7.

Invest in some pure aloe. This natural substance is a miracle worker when it comes to healing woundsand providing moisture. Especially if your hands are sunburned, cracked, or bleeding, use aloe toencourage faster healing.

8.

Bathe in oats. Cooked or raw oats are great healers for chapped hands. Add it to your bathwater, or mix it up with some warm olive or jojoba oil in a basin and soak your hands in it for 10-15 minutes.

9.

Pure coconut oil. This stuff is magic for skin because of its unique combination of fatty acids. Apply itdirectly onto skin and wear gloves for the best results.

Hi Sufia! Use a natural lotion or oil everyday to help make your hands softer. Our http://shop.annmariegianni.com/Radiant-Skin-Silk-Body-Lotion-200ml_p_153.html is a prettyamazing hand moisturizer. You could also try coconut oil from your grocery store or market! Ihope that helps.

Hi There.

I fish in very windy,cold and wet conditions in Canada and I find that using lipbalm on cracks in myhands before moisturizing helps to quickly rejuvenate my hands.

Thank you

A&D ointment is a skin protectant. I often find that a dab of that plus lotion (can be ANY if you’redesperate, but coconut oil, argan oil, olive oil lotions etc work best) mixed together helps it spread evenly and makes my hands feel instantly better, even for the first time washing them after using it. I

have problems with eczema and my finger skin becoming rough and painfully splitting open often,aside from prescribed medicine, this is the only other way I’ve found relief .

Hi Valentino! Do you use anything on your hands currently? Organic oils and lotions can helprestore moisture to your hands. Our Radiant Skin Silk Body Lotion works perfectly to keephands soft . Simple apply to you hands in the morning and at night, or whenever you feel likethey are dry.

You could also try an overnight treatment. We have a Coconut Honey Mask that is designed for

the face but also works for dry hands and feet. You can apply to your hands, put gloves on and leave them on overnight. The honey helps the coconut oil bind to the skin, and over night, your

skin will have lots of time to soak it up. Wash off the mask in the morning when you wake up.

I hope this helps! You might also try aloe if your hands are suffering from sun damage/drynessfrom the wind. Aloe is very healing!

Hi Patrick,

We would suggest working with our Coconut Honey Mask as a treatment for your

hands every couple of days along with a great moisturizer like the Radiant Skin Silk several times a day. I would also suggest looking into the hand soap that you’re

using. Chemical hand soap can certainly cause roughness and irritation in the hands.

Hi Stephanie, Don’t let this boy make you feel bad about your hands! No one should make youfeel bad about yourself. Sometimes our hands just get dry from being outside. It’s an easy fix!Before you go to bed, put lots of coconut oil on your hands and cover them with gloves. You’llwake up to super soft hands!

Hi, I’m a 19 year old male. I’ve had a very hard time with my skin overall sense 2010. Peeling allaround my skin, bad calluses etc.. The Dr.s took a skin biopsy on me, and figured out that I have

“Chronic inflammatory dermatitis”. My hands started drying out really bad around December of 2014.So last winter.. My Dr. Told me to try “aquaphor” hand ointment, and I’ve been using it every day all

day for over a year now. I literally can’t go without it, because if I do my hands will dry outimmediately. I’ve been told that it takes out natural oils from my hands, which concerns me a lot,

because I feel like at this point it’s token out like every single bit of natural oil left in my hands…. Idk what I should use or do. Even my finger nails have been dieing on me. I’d appreciate your guy’s

opinion on what I should try.
