Do you have rough, cracked, dry hands? Think you cant do anything about it? Think again!
Even if youre working construction every day, or have your hands constantly in water, you can take steps to
help repair, protect, and soothe your hands, so that you can feel equally comfortable at work or headed out to
a nice restaurant for dinner.
What Causes Hands to Crack and Bleed?
2/19/2016 2:35 PM
3 of 14
We all know that our hands suffer when we expose them to bad weather, lots of water, dirt, chemicals, and the
sun, but why is this, exactly?
The most common cause of dry, cracked skin is a compromised outer layer. Skin is made to hold onto
moisture 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 more
vulnerable 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, saps
moisture out of the skin.
Water. People who consistently have to wash their hands or immerse their hands in water experience a
loss of moisture, as the water steals the skins 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 own
moisture, 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 todays commercial cleansers and hand
soaps also disrupt skins normal integrity, which slows the natural process of skin repair and creates
dryness 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.
1. 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 fats
and oils. Choose moisturizing cleansers instead, and be sure you rinse thoroughly.
2. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. After each and every wash, moisturize your hands. Carry

moisturizer with you. Try our Coconut Body Oilit absorbs easily, so you wont feel greasy, and
soothes skin damaged from the sun.
3. Avoid hot-air dryers. There are becoming more and more popular because they save money and the
environment, but they can easily dry-out your hands. Pat-dry with some toilet paper or simply shake
dry, then put on your lotion!
4. Wear gloves. You may already do this, but sometimes we forget. The best treatment is always
prevention, so whether youre 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.
5. Exfoliate. We have learned to exfoliate our faces, but we often neglect our hands. Yet the skin on the
handsespecially on the back of themis thin, fragile, and even more susceptible to damage than
some 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 youre severely dry and calloused, try a pumice stone after bathing. If
youre dry but have sensitive skin, try our Dead Sea Facial Scrubits 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 front
and back of your hands to loosen up that dry, dull skin. Use 1-4 times a week, depending on your skins
needs, and always apply a moisturizing lotion immediately afterwards.
6. Wear gloves to bed. Damaged hands need serious moisturization, so its time to deep-treat overnight.
Apply a super thick moisturizer like our Coconut Honey Mask, some jojoba oil, or vitamin E, then go
soak in the bath or the sauna, or better yet, put on some cotton gloves or wool socks and go to bed. You
can also try placing Ziploc bags around your hands with rubber bands around your wrists to lock in the
moisture. Rinse off in the morning.
7. Use a humidifier. Particularly in the winter and in dry climates, a humidifier can be a lifesaver when it
comes to your skin. The most important place to have one is in your bedroom, so you can take
advantage of it while you sleep.
8. Invest in some pure aloe. This natural substance is a miracle worker when it comes to healing wounds
and providing moisture. Especially if your hands are sunburned, cracked, or bleeding, use aloe to
encourage faster healing.
9. 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.
10. Pure coconut oil. This stuff is magic for skin because of its unique combination of fatty acids. Apply it
directly 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 pretty
amazing hand moisturizer. You could also try coconut oil from your grocery store or market! I
hope that helps.

Hi There.
I fish in very windy,cold and wet conditions in Canada and I find that using lipbalm on cracks in my
hands 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 youre
desperate, 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 Ive found relief .

Hi Valentino! Do you use anything on your hands currently? Organic oils and lotions can help
restore moisture to your hands. Our Radiant Skin Silk Body Lotion works perfectly to keep
hands soft . Simple apply to you hands in the morning and at night, or whenever you feel like
they 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/dryness
from 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 youre
using. Chemical hand soap can certainly cause roughness and irritation in the hands.

Hi Stephanie, Dont let this boy make you feel bad about your hands! No one should make you
feel bad about yourself. Sometimes our hands just get dry from being outside. Its an easy fix!
Before you go to bed, put lots of coconut oil on your hands and cover them with gloves. Youll
wake up to super soft hands!

Try exfoliating using salt or sugar mixed with olive or coconut oil. Rinse off, then apply a natural

Hi Kizza,
Im sorry to hear that! We would suggest working with our Radiant Skin Silk daily for rough
hands! A great treatment for the hands every couple of days is the Coconut Honey Mask. It
might seem strange to use a face mask on your hands, but it feels wonderful
I hope that helps!

Hi, Im a 19 year old male. Ive had a very hard time with my skin overall sense 2010. Peeling all
around 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 Ive been using it every day all
day for over a year now. I literally cant go without it, because if I do my hands will dry out
immediately. Ive been told that it takes out natural oils from my hands, which concerns me a lot,
because I feel like at this point its 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. Id appreciate your guys
opinion on what I should try.

Hi Karthik,
Thanks for your email! If youre working with chemicals, we definitely suggest wearing gloves
if you can. We would also suggest seeing your doctor since youre having such pain and
irritation.
If youre working with a moisturizer already, try the Coconut Honey Mask as a treatment a
couple of times a week on your hands.
