The cold weather is not very friendly with the skin, especially with the hand zone. However, if your skin is dry and looks like scales, it is likely to be your own fault. How so?
During winter, people tend to wash their hands with warm water, if not hot. But hot water has the ability to ward off natural oils and the lipids of your skin. Such a thing causes cracks, peeling, and drying of the skin.
This is why dermatologists recommend that during winter, but also in other seasons, wash your hands and faces with boiling water.
If you think that hot water will help the removal of bacteria and viruses, you are in fact mistaken because there is no evidence that hot water is more effective in protecting these microorganisms.
Thus, the routine of hand care during winter should include:
1 soft washingr
2 ) boiling water
