Dressed in a
knee length skit and tights, I was ready for the work day. My son shared a ride
to work with me. During our drive, I rubbed my hands across my tights while
sitting at a traffic light. My son said, “What is that crackling sound?”
“My hands?!”
Yes indeed,
my hands were causing a crackling, popping sound as I rubbed them across my
leg. It should not sound like a fire kindling when my hands touch nylon/cotton
fabric. Do you think you may have extremely dry skin, but you’re not sure? Just
for fun, here are 3 signs that you have dry skin.
1. Sandpaper like hands
2. Spaces between your fingers are white
3. Your feet create a popping sound as
they glide across a blanket
4. Your lips hurt when you smile
5. Cuts on your fingertips
When winter
weather wreaks havoc on your skin what can you do? Take extra precautions. Here
are 3 simple things you can do to protect your skin.
1. Moisturize your skin – experts say
you should apply your lotions to damp skin as this helps to seal in moisture.
2. Wear Chapstick
3. Keep your skin covered – wear gloves,
hat
On the drive
home from work, while stopped at another traffic light, I reflected over the
day. This time, rubbing hands across my tights, there was no snap, crackle,
pop. I kept my hands moisturized and I was wearing gloves.
What tips do
you have for taking care of extremely dry skin?
