What Causes Dry, Rough Hands?

Typically rough to the touch, dry hands are a common skin ailment. And the main offender? A lack of moisture. As the seasons change to winter and humidity decreases, your skin’s natural oils may not be enough against the elements. Winter also means central heating at work and at home, which can zap even more moisture from your skin.

“How well your hands can withstand winter's harsh conditions has a lot to do with the strength of our skin barrier,” dermatology professor Charles Crutchfield III, MD, tells WebMD.com. Your skin barrier acts like a defense system for your skin by sealing in moisture and shielding your skin from bacteria and irritants. If your skin barrier is operating normally, your skin stays hydrated, moisturized and protected against environmental factors. But sometimes, harsh weather, soap, detergents or central heating combine to affect the moisture level in your skin. If your hands become dry, cracked or start peeling, we have some dry hand skin care treatments to bring moisture back into your skin.
