Now we're fully in winter mode in the northern hemisphere, you might be finding your hands or feet (or both!) drying out. Our hands are usually the first to feel the effects of the seasonal change because they're always on the go and often exposed to the elements and the cold, dry air draws moisture from the skin. Air conditioning can have the same effect too. But the weather isn't the only reason behind dry skin, handwashing, certain chemicals and medical conditions can also cause it.
