Hi, it is natural for chalk to absorb all moisture and hence your hand skin is going dry. Please apply thick moisturizers regularly and liberally. Use a very mild hand wash which does not aggravate dryness and at night massage the mositurizer into skin before going to sleep. Coconut oil can also be massaged to hands. Please check your Thyroid hormone levels as that also causes excessive dryness.
