To protect the skin on your hands and to avoid drying and cracking, wear rubber gloves when washing clothes or dishes. Because of frequent handwashings, it is essential that you moisturize often. You should also use night cream on the hands once a week. Use a humidifier in your home to prevent winter induced dry skin. Heat from a furnace removes moisture that can dry and crack your skin, along with causing static build-up in the hair. By placing a humidifier in a room where you frequently spend time, you can restore moisture to the air.
