The clearer the cleanser, the more it may dry out your skin. Also avoid soaps that contain the harsh chemical triclosan (often marked "antibacterial") and instead look for naturally antibacterial ingredients such as tea tree oil or eucalyptus.
2. Never put your hand in hot or icy water.
Hot water makes skin dry by taking away sebum; cold can cause a constriction and then a dilation of capillary vessels, leading to redness.
3. Lube up with oils.
Oils are the best way to get moisture into the skin.
4. Learn proper cuticle care.
Of cuticles are dry and torn, any manicure will look old. However, cutting cuticles can open you up to infection and make them look worse.
5. Moisturize post-sanitizer.
It's a step most of us wouldn't think to do, but it's important. High amounts of alcohol can dehydrate skin and nails, making polish chip faster. Just wait until the sanitizer has dried.
6. Protect with sunscreen.
Your hands can wrinkle and spot just as fast as your face. Sunscreen alone can be drying to hands.
7. Try anti-aging face cream.
To conquer crepeyness, apply it to the backs of your hands at night.
8. Slather on a mask.
Heat helps the mask penetrate.
