My hands get extremely dry from frequent washing and hand sanitizer at work. How should I fit this serum into that routine?

Frequent hand washing and alcohol-based sanitizers strip the skin's natural lipids, leaving the barrier compromised and prone to tightness, flaking, and micro-cracks. The sea buckthorn oil in this serum supplies fatty acids (including omega-7 palmitoleic acid), tocopherols, and carotenoids that help replenish those lost lipids and support barrier recovery. For best results, apply a pea-sized amount to the back of one hand, rub the backs of both hands together, then massage into palms, fingers, and cuticles while the skin is still slightly damp after washing or sanitizing — this traps residual moisture. Because the serum absorbs quickly without a greasy finish, you can reapply as often as needed during a shift without waiting for it to dry. Keep the 50 ml tube at your workstation, in a pocket, or by the sink at home for easy access. At night, you can layer a thicker occlusive cream over the serum if your hands are severely depleted. The product is not a substitute for protective gloves when handling harsh chemicals, but it helps mitigate the cumulative drying effect of frequent hygiene routines.
