Why do your hands crack in winter? ❄️

As temperatures drop, cold outdoor air and dry indoor heating can strip your skin of its natural moisture. This leaves your hands feeling tight, sore, and more likely to crack.

Frequent handwashing, though important for hygiene, can also remove protective oils from the skin, making dryness worse if not properly managed.

Here’s how to protect your hands this winter:
• Moisturise regularly with a rich, fragrance-free cream
• Wear gloves whenever you’re outside
• Avoid very hot water and harsh soaps
• Use a gentle hand cleanser whenever possible

If your hands are sore, cracked, or not improving CHEC can provide specialist dermatology care, ask your GP about a referral to CHEC.

As temperatures drop, your body works harder to adjust, and some areas can be more affected than others.

𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐬
Cold winds and indoor heating can dry out your eyes, causing irritation and discomfort. Protect them outdoors and use lubricating drops if needed.

𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗻
Low humidity strips moisture from your skin, often leading to dryness, cracking, and flare-ups of eczema or psoriasis. Moisturise regularly and avoid harsh products.

𝗘𝗮𝗿, 𝗡𝗼𝘀𝗲 & 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗮𝘁
The shift between cold air and warm indoor heating can lead to congestion, sore throats, or sinus pressure. Staying hydrated and using saline sprays can help.

𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺
Cold weather and comfort foods can slow digestion. Eating balanced meals, staying active, and drinking plenty of water supports gut health.

If you’re struggling with any of these symptoms, CHEC is here to help.
