Dry, cracked hands every winter are NOT normal.
When dryness is accompanied by itching, burning, redness, peeling, or painful fissures, it is often hand eczema — a chronic inflammatory condition caused by a weakened skin barrier, not poor hygiene or lack of care.
Winter cold, low humidity, frequent handwashing, alcohol-based sanitizers, detergents, and repeated hot water exposure strip away natural skin oils. Once the barrier breaks down, the skin becomes highly reactive, leading to inflammation, recurrent flares, infections, and long-term damage if ignored.
What many people don’t realise is that hand eczema is preventable and manageable with early, consistent care — not just occasional cream application.
Effective prevention & management include:
✔️ Gentle, soap-free cleansing
✔️ Immediate moisturisation after every wash
✔️ Regular use of barrier-repair formulations
✔️ Protection from irritants during wet or chemical work
✔️ Early dermatological evaluation for recurrent symptoms
At Dermaplanet, we prioritise dermatologist-guided, sensitive-skin friendly, barrier-repair focused formulations designed to support healing, reduce flares, and strengthen the skin over time.
👉 Don’t normalise painful winter hands.
Early prevention, correct products, and consistent care can stop hand eczema from becoming a chronic disease.
