Reptile keepers who have dry skin are very common. Caring for reptiles is a passion that many people share but how many of those people would say they really enjoy cleaning out the habitats? Not many for sure, but keeping it clean is necessary for the health of the reptile.
There are many different methods and substances used for cleaning but whatever the method or chemical used they will all have very similar impact on unprotected skin. In an ideal world either a new pair of suitable gloves will be used for each habitat or the gloves will be sanitised before moving onto the next task. Having stated that, how many keepers actually carry out either of those processes every time they clean?
So often reptile keepers have dry skin as they are in direct contact with either the cleaning chemicals and / or prolonged use of protective gloves. In either case the effect on the skin will be the same.
Every time we wash or sanitise our skin, even with very mild substances, our skin loses some of the protective oils that are naturally present on our skin. This lipid layer, as it is called, plays a very important role in keeping the skin hydrated and supple. When it is removed the skin becomes dry.
Dry skin doesn't come by itself; correctly moisturised skin will be supple, however dry skin becomes brittle and as is well known, brittle skin starts to split and crack. This skin condition is not only painful and embarrassing but can also lead to further complications such as infections etc.
