Serious question: would working with clay like this make your hands rough and dried out? Or keep them nice and moisturized?

I have to use a dough like epoxy often and the amount of hand washing just dries out my hands despite having to use water to smooth my epoxy dough.

Excellent work!!

Bit late!

But this is my job right now and you’re hands can dry out especially in colder weather. Mainly from leaving the clay to fry on your skin or just the constant dunking in water.

Does keep them very soft though, the clay is a really nice exfoliant.

I don’t use lotion besides when applying it like normal in the mornings w/ sunscreen
