Cracked, dry skin on your hands compromises your skin barrier, creating small openings where bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms can enter and potentially multiply. The skin normally acts as a protective barrier, but when it's damaged with cracks or fissures, it's much less effective at keeping germs out.

Additionally, the rough, uneven surface of severely dry or cracked skin makes it harder to wash your hands thoroughly, since germs can hide in those crevices. This is why healthcare workers and others who wash their hands frequently are encouraged to use moisturizer regularly—not just for comfort, but also to maintain the integrity of their skin as a protective barrier against infection.
