"I don&amp;#x27;t know &amp;#x27;bout you, but I have to slightly tweak my hands routine as the weather gets cooler or things get embarrassing, almost to the point where I&amp;#x27;m too ashamed to get a professional manicure (but not quite). Here&amp;#x27;s one change I just made to help save my hands from dryness, fingertip cracks and red chappiness. Gotta keep the hands looking model pretty! I swapped out my liquid hand wash for Cetaphil. It seems like a small change, but I&amp;#x27;m hoping it&amp;#x27;ll make a big difference--the lack of foam should make washing my hands a lot less drying now. I heard a dermatologist mention the idea recently (I can&amp;#x27;t remember who and feel so bad! Maybe she&amp;#x27;ll read this and clue me in.) That said, I&amp;#x27;m not a fan of the aesthetics of the change. I miss those bubbles that make my hands feel cleaner, but more important, the pretty sink-side bottles and delicious scents! (I have so much fun picking out hand wash, don&amp;#x27;t you? I get a different type every time, I think! Most recently I was testing all the Trader Joe&amp;#x27;s formulas.) I&amp;#x27;m also singing my Happy Birthdays--I&amp;#x27;m sure you know that hands-washing trick, right?--while (not)lathering up to make sure I&amp;#x27;m still killing all those grody seasonal germs, because I don&amp;#x27;t trust that this stuff will do the job as effectively. p.s. If you decide to try this, be sure to grab Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, not the one for oily skin, which is in a too-similar bottle! I make that mistake all. the. time. Would you pull this seasonal hand wash switcheroo, or no way? Read More: * my secret hands miracle * how to prevent sweaty palms * are your nail habits normal?
