1. Washing the dishes and cracked palms
After washing the dishes for several days, have you noticed that the skin on your palms become very dry and it starts to crack? Give it a day or two and you’ll see it. Much of the dish soap in the market contains lime or lemon because they’re known to be acidic and it’s very good to clean fat leftover on your dishes. But what isn’t too good is the constant exposure of this acid on our palm. While lime and lemon are good exfoliator, constant exposure will leave our hands dry.
Here’s what you need to do. Everytime you finish washing the dishes, use a hand soap or soap bar to wash your hands so that it will strip away the remaining dish soap that stuck on your hands. Use hand cream or just any lotion to give back the moisture that was stripped away while you’re washing the dishes. The perfect time to stock up on L’Occitane hand cream, don’t you think?
