Moisturize your hands after washing them!
Washing your hands and using alcohol disinfectant many times a day.
You can't help but worry about rough hands.
Every time you wash your hands, the skin barrier is broken down. For people who have dry hands, frequent hand washing can be very painful.
If you stop washing your hands because you don't want your hands to get rough, you're completely missing the point.
So, everyone,
Moisturize your hands every time you wash them
If the skin's barrier function is weakened, it becomes easier for germs and other microorganisms to invade.
Wash your hands frequently with soap, and immediately after washing, apply a moisturizer to the skin on your hands.
If you then touch something and have to wash your hands, do so without hesitation. And moisturize.
You might think that this is a waste of moisturizer.
But now is the time when we all need to wash our hands to protect the lives of our families, ourselves, and society as a whole. By the way, please do not share towels to dry your hands, but use separate towels for each person.
At the clinic, I wash my hands many times a day and also use alcohol-based hand disinfectant countless times.
And each time

I apply a moisturizer such as
I have to wash my hands within a few minutes of applying moisturizer, and sometimes I have to use alcohol-based disinfectant, so I just keep repeating the cycle of "wash → moisturize."
After washing your hands, moisturize them.
Moisturize so you can keep washing your hands.
Don't skimp on washing your hands or moisturizing your hands!
That's right, more and more people are wearing gloves when going out. However, it has been pointed out that there is a danger that people may become complacent and stop washing their hands because they are wearing gloves.
Even if you wear gloves outside, wash your hands immediately after coming home and removing them.
(It's a good idea to wash not only your hands, but also your hair and face in the shower as soon as you get home.)
The other day, Aoharu Clinic was given some alcohol-based hand sanitizer. We will be providing this to all patients who visit the clinic.
It is very encouraging that alcohol manufacturers are stepping up to produce disinfectants one after another. Thank you very much.
Let's all get through this together!
