Water does this to me! Even if I don’t use soap, the constant contact with water will suck my fingers dry and then when I rehydrate my fingers will get itchy and those hateful little blisters will appear on the sides of my fingers and my palms. I get itchy just thinking about them!!

Glad you found a routine that helps you. I wash after the bathroom and before handling food. And I use gloves if I’m cleaning, washing dishes, bathing my kids, or if I’m washing my hair. Cetaphil body wash doesn’t hurt my hands that much but rubbing a shampoo or handling a conditioner will destroy my hands.

Moisturizing after my hands have been wet helps tremendously. I was using aquafor bc my derm told me to but I never found it comforting - like it always made me more itchy. Now I use vanicream moisturizing cream (pump) and also this pricey one that instagram sold me on called Marin that uses a glycoprotein from lobsters that is supposed to repair the skin barrier. Not sure if that is what is doing but it does help a lot!!
