Why are my hands always dry?
Our bodies give us signs when there is imbalance. If you have washed your hands a lot with soap and water or used significant amounts of rubbing alcohol – of course it is good to do – dry, rough, wrinkled hands are a common result, especially if soaps and disinfectants are made with harsh chemicals that can remove natural oils from your skin.
Living in climates with low humidity also draws moisture out of the skin, leaving it dry and in need of moisture. If your climate is very windy and cold, your skin can also become dry. (Heating your home with a wood stove, central heating or space heaters creates a dry indoor environment, leading to even drier skin.) In the warmer months, sun, heat, chlorine and salt water also dry out your skin, giving your hands extra moisture and sun protection. and gentle cleansing goes a long way, regardless of the season.
Whatever the cause of the dryness, a few easy steps can get your hands back in shape; Add a few skin care movements that are typically reserved for facial skin, and you can supercharge your results for hands that look as healthy as they feel.

Therefore, apply sunscreen again (pure mineral sunscreenof course) while washing your hands during the day. The best versions are also moisturizing. Prick an amount on the back of your hands and rub them together to avoid getting sunscreen on your palms.
