Skin care: Avoid harsh drying soaps, such as Dial and other antibacterial soaps. Use a mild soap such as Dove. Avoid overuse of hand sanitizers- they have alcohol that dries the skin easily. If you have contact with chemicals, use gloves when possible. Use a good moisturizer- something thick, non-perfumed. A cream is better than a lotion. You may need to apply it frequently- 3-4 times/day.
