I fear I may have done this to my hands out of ignorance; after frequently assaulting them with alcohol-based sanitizer and dishwashing soap while on lockdown, they now get pruney very quickly when they come in contact with water.
Is this situation irreversible?
- projektfu 6y agoWith moisturizers, somewhat. The best hand sanitizers (Avagard, for example) are good at preserving the skin texture. The lipids can be replaced with typical moisturizing lotions. Dish soap is probably not more effective than Dove soap, so use milder soap.
- adrianN 6y agoNo, skin is regenerated regularly. You need to destroy it pretty deeply to permanently disrupt this mechanism.
- jszymborski 6y agoWhat's been working for me has been keeping a bottle of skin lotion (Lubriderm has been working well) next to the sink. I wash my hands, dry thoroughly, and apply lotion. I do this at every washing, to assure that my skin is protected after all the oils are stripped by the detergent. I'm not a dermatologist, however, so consult a medical professional if problems persist.
