Washing our hands is one of the effective ways of preventing the spread of COVID-19, particularly after using the restroom, coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose. However, frequent handwashing can lead to red, itchy, or even cracked skin.

Here's how to wash and care for your hands:

  • Wash your hands with soap and lukewarm water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Moisturize your damp hands immediately after with a cream moisturizer, the type you squeeze out of a tube. Pat your hands dry, then rub a pea-sized amount of moisturizer over your hands such as Eucerin, Cetaphil, or CeraVe.
  • Avoid lotions you pump out of a bottle. Pump lotions are loaded with alcohol that dry out skin.
  • Choose fragrance or dye-free moisturizers, which are less irritating for your skin.
  • When soap and water aren't readily available, use hand sanitizer that is at least 65% alcohol. Be sure to apply moisturizer immediately afterward since alcohol can dry out the skin.
  • Over-the-counter hydrocortisone creams can soothe dry and cracked skin.
  • Before bed, apply cream; then wear cotton gloves that will protect your hands while you are sleeping.

Using moisturizer after washing your hands does NOT negate your handwashing efforts, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. In addition, there is NO evidence that using hand sanitizer makes you more vulnerable to infections or viruses.
