For dry, rough skin on the hands, reduce the frequency of handwashing and minimize contact with alkaline cleansing products such as dishwashing detergent and hand soap. After washing hands, apply a moisturizing skincare cream—such as vitamin E cream—to hydrate the skin and alleviate dryness. Additionally, incorporate more vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables into your daily diet, and regularly consume foods like sesame seeds and honey, which help nourish yin and moisten the lungs.
