Avoiding Dry, Cracking Skin from Frequent Handwashing

This is the crucial moment: we have a duty to avoid the further spread of germs and to implement new daily hygienic methods. Among these, it is essential to keep your hands clean. With frequent washing, the skin tends to “wear out” and flaking occurs.
It is necessary to make careful choices regarding soaps and creams and also take small precautions such as using warm or cold water – not too hot, because it causes more damage to the sensitive skin on your hands.
It is recommended to use artisanal soaps obtained with all natural substances, such as Aleppo soap, which has the consistency of a cream and is delicate, purified and antiseptic. Natural soaps with citrus fruits or other plants such as rose, mallow, lavender, sandalwood, edelweiss, lily of the valley are also suitable.
As for hand cream, it is useless to put on during the day, because it will be washed off after a short time, however it is necessary to put it on overnight. Also in this case it is necessary to choose natural creams, handcrafted, which guarantee the quality and reliability of the ingredients without resorting to aggressive substances. Aloe vera creams, extra virgin olive oil, and almond oil are recommended, which will help the skin to regenerate quickly.
