Cover Your Skin or Wear Rubber Gloves
Winter is no friend to dry skin, so make sure to keep your body warm with appropriate clothing. Wearing a scarf, hat, and gloves when you go out reduces your likelihood of experiencing a sudden reaction or irritation due to extreme dryness.
Wearing rubber gloves is especially necessary if the nature of your job requires you to immerse your hands in water frequently. If you have to use harsh cleansers or chemicals, wearing gloves is the best way to protect your skin because rubber does not absorb water. With rubber gloves, you can work for several hours under water or harsh cleansing agents while maintaining soft and moisturized hands.
For itchy skin, making use of a topical steroid medication can improve the syndrome. Creams that contain hydrocortisone are very effective treatments for itchiness. Hydrocortisone is a steroid that helps control the immune response to skin irritants. It helps reduce pain, itching, and swelling (inflammation).
