Taking care of our hands may not be the first thing we think about in a day, but it should be at least a thought. Some people, like me, have to think about it every day or else end up with a rash, dry skin, even cracked and bleeding skin in a worse case scenario.
Most hand soaps, dish soaps etc are very harsh for the skin. In my case, I can’t use liquid soap even for one day without getting severely tight dry skin. During the winter months my skin would actually crack and bleed. Almost as if it was shrinking and couldn’t cover my fingers anymore. Yeah, really gross! I switched to using homemade goat milk soap and being careful of where my hands were, especially during dry seasons, and have had much more success at having beautiful hands.
If you think about it, we use our hands for so much in a day; they’re so valuable and yet how many of us actually stop and consider caring for them? I am oh so guilty of neglect here!
But don’t worry, it’s better late than never to start caring for your hands the way they should be treated.
