The best way to prevent chapped skin in winter is to take good care of your skin. When washing your hands in winter, try to use as little soap or medicated soap as possible, because excessive washing will only completely wash away the oil normally secreted from the skin surface, resulting in dry and cracked skin. Dry immediately after use, apply vitamin E or petroleum jelly ointment to lock the moisture in the skin in time.
