Dry, cracked hands – why do they happen?

There are two reasons why your hands might be vulnerable: one is eczema, the other is water.

Fissures can occur in both cases. Fissures are the small cracks you can experience in your skin. They are often small and often deep enough to cause the skin to sting and sometimes bleed or ooze.

The many times your hands come into contact with water each day are some of the things that dry out your skin the most. Every time you wash your hands under a hot tap, or simply wet them, the skin will dry out. If you also use any type of soap, the soap will be even more responsible for removing all the fat and natural oil from your skin.

A weekend in the garden with wet soil is just as guilty as washing your hands too much. But a dry climate can do exactly the same thing, just remember back on the trip home from the beach. The sand often left everyone's skin parched dry.

The skin needs fat to stay supple. As soon as the skin is wet, with or without soap, the fat will bind with the water molecule and be washed away or evaporate along with the water.

Your dry skin is now significantly more susceptible to eczema and cracking. Even a simple bending of a finger can cause small cracks to appear, which can be extremely painful.

3 Things You Should Never Do If You Have Dry, Chapped Hands.
Never wash your hands for a long time.
Never wash in hot water.
Never scratch or tear the dry skin.

3 things you should always remember if you have dry, cracked hands.
Dry your hands thoroughly after washing.
Use hand cream after every hand wash.
Use a thick ointment before you go out.

I have extremely dry hands – is there anything I should avoid?
If you have cracked hands with many fissures, you should avoid making the situation worse. If you have eczema, it is important to stop the eczema; if you are just dry, you should avoid worsening the dryness.

Can dry skin on the hands cause itching?
Dry hands can cause irritation and, not least, a slight stinging pain, which is often experienced as itching. Remember to use a rich cream or ointment, and it will quickly get better again.

Should you use oil on dry, cracked hands?
Oils can certainly be used to combat dry hands. There are both oily and dry oils; by dry oils, we mean that they absorb quickly. Therefore, if you want to use oil, you should find a dry oil.

Should you use cream on dry, cracked hands?
You really need to use rich creams and ointments for your dry, cracked hands. Several times a day is recommended, especially after every contact with water.

I wear gloves outdoors, and yet my hands still get dry?
Gloves are a really good idea when going out in cold weather. The only important thing is that they are not damp or wet. If they are, they will only worsen your situation.

A good idea is to have two pairs of gloves, preferably washable ones. That way you can always have a dry pair and you don't have to worry about them getting a little greasy inside from all the greasy ointment or hand cream.

I am pregnant and have very dry hands – which products can I use?
If you are pregnant and have dry hands, simply check the ingredient list of the products you want to use. You probably have a list of ingredients you want to avoid, and of course you should look for those.

I haven't personally come across any over-the-counter products specifically for dry hands that contain ingredients that the Danish Health Authority doesn't recommend for pregnant women.

Do I possibly have eczema?

Your cracked hands could well be due to eczema. If it is eczema, it's probably something you experience often. In the case of contact eczema, contact must of course cease, and the eczema will disappear. For atopic dermatitis or childhood eczema, I would like to draw your attention to my guidance on... Atopic skin.

Should I go to the doctor about my cracked hands?
In some cases, the patient is so severely affected that you need to seek medical help. Doctors often treat with hydrocolloid dressings. Hydrocolloid is a moisture-retaining wound dressing used for many different types of wounds. You can buy them over the counter.

Other times, the doctor will treat with 2% lapis, but I won't go into that here, the doctor will handle that.

Treating cracked hands – these are the products you need.

1. Raz Skincare AI
Since hands that crack often also suffer from eczema, I will always treat them morning and evening with Ai. Wet the hands with Ai and let it dry in. Yes, it stings terribly. Since not everyone has eczema, Ai is not included in the package and must be purchased separately.

2. Raz Skincare Repair
Morning and evening after Ai, I will take my Repair and drip 2-3 drops. Vitamin E apply it to your hands. You can optionally use a pair of cotton gloves if you're worried about getting greasy. The vitamin E is only for those with very large wounds and fissures, so... Vitamin E is not included in this basic package, so it must be purchased separately.

3. Raz Skincare Hand Cream
A good hand cream after every time your hands feel dry or after every hand wash is essential for your care. The one I have included in the package is a fast-absorbing hand cream that is quickly absorbed and

Other treatment

Danish Raz Skincare Lavender Scrub
You can optimize your treatment by removing dead skin cells. This is done gently and effectively with my Lavender Scrub. Wash your hands thoroughly with the Lavender Scrub (minimum 5 minutes). Rinse with cold water and pat dry before continuing treatment.

When will I see improvements on my cracked hands?

If you follow all my recommendations, you should experience improvement after 2-3 days. In severe cases, it may take up to 14 days for the fusion to be optimal.

I've put together the products you absolutely must have in one package, and given you a great price.

In severe cases, always seek medical attention.

Hugs, Raz
