It's November 5th — Guy Fawkes Night. Bonfires, sparklers, and the unmistakable smell of smoke in the air.

But as the cold sets in and the flames crackle, many of us feel another kind of burn — on our hands.

You know the feeling: dry, tight, cracked skin that stings when you wash it.
Most people assume it’s just the cold weather. But it’s not just that. It’s often what you’re washing with.

🧴 What You Think Is “Soap” Probably Isn’t

That bottle by the sink or bath that says “hand wash” or “body wash”? It’s not soap. It’s detergent.

True soap is created through saponification, a natural process that produces:

• Cleansing molecules that remove dirt and germs.

• Natural glycerine — a moisture magnet that keeps skin hydrated.

Detergent-based “washes” only mimic the first part. They strip oils (and your protective barrier) but lack the nourishing glycerine.
The result? Skin that’s left unprotected and exposed to cold, wind, and central heating — the perfect storm for cracked, painful hands.

🔥 Why They Sting When You Wash

When your natural skin barrier is stripped, nerve endings sit closer to the surface.
So every time you wash, those harsh detergents meet raw, unprotected skin — and it literally burns.

What happens next?
You wash more often, thinking your hands are “dirty” or “dry”…
But you’re just feeding the cycle.
