Where handwashing was impossible, people turned to antimicrobial hand gels with a high content of isopropyl or ethyl alcohol. As a result of this trend, however, many people now suffer from red, sensitive and dry hands.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"vc_custom_heading\">What are the consequences of using sanitizing gel?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Covid-19 first spread over the winter months when the skin of the hands is already dry. This, coupled with the increased use of sanitizing gel, meant that many developed dermatitis. Mild dermatitis is characterized by dry, red skin, while severe dermatitis often causes fissures, micro cuts and cracks especially on, or near finger joints. Dryness, redness and fissures on the hands expose the skin to many bacterial colonies making the individual more prone to infection, including from Coronavirus itself.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>What to do about alcohol gel dermatitis?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-17\">Treatment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-18\">Before sleeping, apply one or two dots of <strong>Extreme Emollient Ointment<\/strong> and massage well until fully absorbed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-19\">This natural remedy initially gives an oily sensation that wears off with full massage.<br \/>\nThis ointment has a high moisturising capacity and does not penetrate the skin, allowing dryness and redness to be quickly resolved.<br \/>\nIt favours the closure of fissures, thus allowing hand washes or the application of alcoholic antimicrobial gels to continue.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=&#8221;h5&#8243; style=&#8221;modern&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; color=&#8221;white&#8221; gap=&#8221;20&#8243; c_icon=&#8221;chevron&#8221; c_position=&#8221;right&#8221; active_section=&#8221;0&#8243; collapsible_all=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-tint&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;The concept of self-hydration&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1661425179391-fe49c652-1ab3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Skin dryness is not caused by a lack of water. Instead, it is caused by poor water retention in the stratum corneum, which is the outermost layer of skin and the one in constant contact with the external environment. To eliminate dry skin, apply <strong>Extreme Emollient Ointment<\/strong>, which draws water from the deeper layers of the skin up to the stratum corneum, helping to repair its softness and elasticity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;36097&#8243;
