I know that everyone is washing their hands a gazillion times a day. Are they raw and chaffed? Is your face dry and tight? Here is some help

@merpreb good video, albeit a bit long. I never even knew there were handsoaps that had glitter! I guess people with children must be more aware of them.
I have been using hand cream more than I used to of course but I do not use it after every hand washing. We do not go out enough to have face masks irritating our facial skin. I think these days most of us are staying at home so much that is probably not as much of a problem as our hands are.
Thanks for posting.

Maybe you are washing them too many times, but I use O'Keefee's Working Hands and Merlot Hand Cream Plus Sanitizer. The O'Keefee's works the best. You can find it in a grocery store or order it from Amazon. As far as your face, do you use a cream on it? You may want to go to the drugstore. I go to Walgreens here in Urbandale, IA and they help me choose what I need.I'm 68 and I use L'oreal Revitalift 10% Pure Glycolic Acid. If I go outside I use Neutrogena Age Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 70. If I'm just going to be inside I use Botanics Day cream after the Glycolic Acid. At night I use L'oreal Revitalift concentrated serum and follow with Botanics night cream. The Botanics is not too pricey, but the others can cost more. I use to use No.7, but it is expensive. Hope this helps.
