Winter=Dry Hands

[JacinLarkwell]

Just a tint rant about dry hands in winter.

I work at a place that requires near constant hand washing for health reasons (fast food, trust me, you want us washing our hands ). Thanks to the virus, it's even stricter. I actually counted today and averaged a 20 second wash almost every 2-3 minutes for a 6 hour shift.

It's been three days and my hands look like I wash with sand paper, and I have winter until April

At that rate you're going to shred your hands Are you not able to wear protective gloves? Those can be washed too - or exchanged for a fresh pair when needed.

My hands are always dry too, though probably nowhere near as dry as yours, being you wash more often.

We would be required to toss our gloves when we step off the makeline, which is just unrealistic for us to do, especially during rushes.

Find yourself a tub of working hands cream. Comes in a round tub, bright green.

I use this when working with concrete a lot. Come home, wash hands apply when dry. Right before bed apply again. It’s not at all greasy, and keeps my hands from cracking to the point of bleeding.

I've got this cornhuskers stuff that I use around 3 or 4 times a day depending on what I'm doing. Stings terribly at first but it makes them feel better after a few minutes.

Working hands works a hundred times better than huskers oil. If you have time during the day to apply, you’d have it made.

Ordinarily I'd say yes I agree .. that would be quite wasteful having to constantly change gloves .. but the current requirement for you to wash your hands constantly is also not good for the health of your hands. Someone needs to suggest that your work gives you all a christmas voucher for a lovely hand salon day!!

No no no!
Never think washing gloves is a substitute for washing hands.
Wash your hands in between glove changes.
Every. Time.
Change gloves every time you change tasks.

Unfortunately that is just the way it is when you work in the food industry or healthcare.
Too many people do not follow the guidelines as it is.
