“Winter is coming…” they say, but according to the current condition of my hands, its already here!
Wintertime Acrimony
I’ve probably said it before, but I’ll say it again: Winter hates me and I hate winter. It’s true. While there are some things I do love about winter (jackets, sweaters, hoodies, no bugs, hot chocolate, Christmas, etc), the rest (snow, ice, cold dry air, et al.) is not for me. One of the things I hate most is the effect winter has on my hands… Now, don’t get me wrong, my hands are pretty tough. I punch and strike hard objects almost everyday and just for the fun it as part of my karate training. But winter…it really does a work on my hands like nothing else. Within a few days of wintry weather setting in, the skin on my hands begin to crack, and if not tended to with diligence, my hands will eventually bleed. But, thanks to a good friend, I have a solution that works. I’ve shared it with you before and will probably share it with you every year until I purchase a winter home in Florida or Texas, or on some tropical island!
A Solution, Plus Four
Let’s get right to it. If winter damages your hands, cracking them and causing them to bleed, I’d highly recommend you give Bloody Knuckles by Duke Cannon a try. It’s been my go-to for the past few winters and it has yet to disappoint!
While I’ve not yet tried any of the following, they may be just as good and effective as my #1 go-to, so check them out as well:
Bloody Hands, No More
There you go. If winter wrecks your hands, it’s time to fight back. Give one of the presented skin repair balms a try, find what works best for you, and maybe winter will be a bit more…enjoyable.
