Along with snow and cold weather, winter often brings along dry, cracked skin... particularly on your hands and fingers. Below are some simple and quick tips to help get your hands back in shape:
1. Apply olive oil, just as you would lotion, to moisturize your hands. Remember that consistency is key.
2. After you have moisturized your hands, put on some cotton gloves. You can sleep in these and this will help lock in the moisture.
3. Paraffin wax treatments work great to moisturize and soften your hands. You can buy a paraffin wax kit so that you can use them at home, or treat yourself and go to a spa!
4. Limit your hand's exposure to the cold as much as possible.
5. Don't bite or pick at your fingers, this will only irritate the skin and dry it out more.
