High Glycerin Hand Cream Provides Relief from Extreme Dryness and Cracking

Dry skin is a family of conditions ranging in severity from dry,  powdery appearance to scaling, cracking and fissuring, which can lead to infection. Predisposing factors to dry skin include cold, dry air, repetitive changes in the environment, age, gender, lifestyle or  occupation, exposure to solvents and detergents, hot water, intense sun exposure, and conditions such  as atopy. Chapping occurs when  the stratum corneum becomes dehydrated and inflexible, often as a result of one or more of the factors listed above. If left unchecked, this  condition can become a source of  infection and a health issue. Today  there are good functional hand  and body moisturizers on the market. We report here the therapeutic  effectiveness of a high-glycerin-containing hand cream. We show high efficacy, even with severely dry, cracked skin. The cream effectively restores healthy skin and should provide prophylactic benefit when used regularly.
