boring psa bc i haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere so far
remember that moisturising is an important part of hand hygiene. especially if you’re washing your hands more frequently these days. healthy, intact skin is one of your immune system’s barriers, as dry and cracked skin can harbour dirt and microbes, and in extra bad cases skin infection can tank your immune system further
soap and water is great for getting rid of harmful microbes but they also remove your skin’s natural oils, so please please please apply some lotion after you wash your hands
I recommend moisturizing your hands before you fall asleep. It allows your body access to moisture overnight and especially helps with excessive handwashing. I only know this from years of experience as a mysophobe.
