Five skin health tips for nurses

5. Ramp Up Your Skincare Routine Off Shift
If you experience hand dryness from all that washing up at work, the last thing you need to do when you finally arrive at home is to get your hands dirty. Wear cotton gloves for housework to keep your hands clean (and not sweaty). Use a long-handled brush for washing dishes instead of plunging your hands and arms into hot water. If the skin on your hands is red and cracked, it’s time for an old-fashioned treatment: Slather your hands with Vaseline and cover them with tube socks overnight. If you don’t have a problem with fragrances, you can buy a brand of petroleum jelly that’s scented with chamomile or lavender. Your hands will smell like you spent all night at the spa! This treatment works for your feet as well.
