Cyanosis: Typically the reaction you describe occurs from lack of blood flow (Raynaud’s phenomenon) or cold temps rather than chemical irritants. I don’t know what is in your cleanser, but alcohol itself should not cause this. See a doc if this doesn’t clear in a day. In the meantime try flushless niacin 500mg 2-3 x daily, wear latex or nitrile gloves at work, and wash gloved hands instead of skin.
