I'm a sanitizing freak, and my hands are buring now.

I tend to sanitize my hands like 5-10 times a day, each time I touch a handle when I'm out and about.
Now I started using a diff sanitizer a couple of days ago, it was alright just a weird smell, and more liquidy. I just applied it, and for some reason now my hands are burning. I went and washed them with soap, but they are still burning.

It's awful for the hands... I do it because I have to and I already had problems with the skin of my hands, especially during winter it's on another level though... At least get a cream to moisturise them frequently, it will help.

@HannibalAteMeOut I've seen your hands though, they're pretty 😏

@HannibalAteMeOut I'll bookmark it!

@HannibalAteMeOut other people recommended moisturiser as well, and I'll start doing that. Somebody said that the burn could be because of applying alcohol on dried skin, which totally makes sense.

@Dan193 after using it so much your hands are bound to get dry and even bleed sometimes, same with washing them with soap too frequently.

@HannibalAteMeOut yeah, thankfully it never got to bleeding
