Dry hands help

Question
My hands get so dry in the cold that they feel like sandpaper. How can I keep them smooth?

Answer
A lack of humidity in winter can make your skin feel much drier than usual, so always wear rubber gloves in the kitchen and use conditioning handwashes rather than soaps.

Keep your hand cream nearby, so you're reminded to apply it regularly. To help your hand cream penetrate more effectively, start by giving your hands an exfoliating treatment to buff away dead skin.

Manicurist Christina Fitzgerald recommends simple sorbolene, but if you like a more luxurious, fragranced cream, try Lanolips Rose Balm Intense For Very Dry Hands & Nails
