If your hands are dry and chapped from all of the pandemic-induced use of hand sanitizers, and all of the hand-washing, then they are likely in need some extra TLC. Here are my super-easy, and ultra-relaxing at-home tips to restore their moisture. You really don't have to go out and buy any fancy and expensive products, instead use what you love and already have on hand.
Six Easy Steps:
Step 1: Wash your hands with warm soapy water.
Step 2: Fill your sink with warm water and soak your hands in the basin. After a few minutes, gently exfoliate dead skin cells with your favorite body scrub. Tip: Exfoliate gently because the water softens up your skin, and therefore you don't need to use any force.
Step 3: Thoroughly rinse hands and empty the basin.
Step 4: Rinse out the basin and refill it with warm water and add a small amount of bath or body oil to moisturize your freshly exfoliated skin. Let your hands and feet soak for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse.
Step 5: Massage additional body oil into your slightly damp hands, and let it sink in thoroughly.
Step 6: Massage a rich cream, body butter or balm into your hands, and then put on cotton gloves (if you want to further pamper your hands).

Overall Assessment: Follow these 6 easy steps to pamper and moisturize your dry hands this winter, and you will see quite a difference. I try to do this at least once a week, and in addition to deeply moisturizing the skin, it is also very relaxing and pampering.
