Beef Tallow for Dry Skin After Frequent Hand Sanitizer Use

Quick summary

• Frequent sanitizer use can leave hands and finger edges tight, flaky, and uncomfortable. Small, repeatable applications can improve comfort without heavy daytime residue.
• Why sanitizer-heavy days can dry skin quickly: Alcohol-based sanitizers are useful for hygiene but can increase dryness when used repeatedly. The skin around knuckles, cuticles, and hand edges often feels this first.
• Fast daytime routine between tasks: After sanitizer dries fully, apply a rice-grain amount of balm to knuckles and cuticles, then a thin layer of whipped cream on backs of hands. Reapply in small amounts every few rounds as needed.
