Dry sore hands and cold weather
Following a mild Christmas, we’re now just out of a recent cold snap but with another two months of winter still to go the mercury is likely to drop to below zero again soon.
It’s bad enough at the best of times, but for people who suffer with dry hands the colder weather can make things really uncomfortable. And if your job means you have to spend time outside each day with prolonged exposure to the cold and wet, hands can be left feeling cracked and lacking moisture.
One way of reducing the discomfort of dry, cracked hands is to use a product which enhances the skin’s natural barrier and helps to retain natural oils and moisture. Gloves In A Bottle Hand Shielding Lotion works by bonding with the outer layer of the skin and will remain in place for 2 to 3 hours. This process reinforces the skin’s natural properties and protects from the drying effects of exposure to cold, wet weather.

If you do suffer with sore hands the NHS has a number of tips including:
- Avoiding exposure to irritants like soap
- Wear gloves for cleaning work
- Wear gloves in cold weather
- Dry your hands with a clean towel and dry between the fingers
- Don’t apply hair dye with your bare hands
- Avoid direct contact with various polishes.
- It’s also advised that people take steps like using a soap substitute and a moisturiser
