During the winter season, many people experience dry and cracked hands due to the combination of cold weather and reduced humidity. The skin on our hands has fewer oil-producing glands compared to the face, making them more prone to dryness. Cold weather further diminishes the available moisture in the air, exacerbating this issue. The skin's lipid barrier can also become compromised, resulting in increased water loss and rough, tight skin. Indoor heating systems and frequent hand washing strip away natural oils, compounding the problem.
