Look for hand soaps that contain aloe, avocado, or coconut butter. Soaps containing vitamin E and jojoba oil can protect dry skin.

The sun can dry and damage the skin. If you don't like the feel of sunscreen on your palms, wipe it off with a damp tissue after using it on the back of your hand.
- A good sunscreen also protects the skin from dust and sunlight.
- Sunscreen often includes moisturizers that help soften the skin.
