The Best Ways to Treat Cracked Hands

1. Find the cause: 

One of the easiest ways to treat your cracked hands is to find the cause behind it, and eliminate it as best you can. Cracked hands can be caused by a number of different things. Climate, over-washing, alcohol-based cleaners and products, genetics and age, and chemicals, just to name a few. 

2. Avoid Synthetic Soaps:

Many of the soaps today are filled with chemicals that dry the skin out, which compromises the skin's ability to self heal. Try finding and using soaps with natural, organic, and moisturizing ingredients. 

3. gLOVE Treat with Parasilk Paraffin Wax Treatment:

Wearing gloves while cleaning is essential in order to protect your skin from the chemicals. These chemicals can dry the skin out, causing it to crack. Try using natural chemicals and detergents, and wearing rubber gloves while cleaning. 

5. Exfoliate:

So many of us are so focused on exfoliating our face that we forget to exfoliate the rest of our bodies, including our hands. Try making a moisturizing sugar scrub using organic fine-grained sugar, and organic extra virgin olive oil. Use it once a week in the shower on your body and hands for a great way to stay soft!
