    I’m positive 95% of your results came just from drinking more water. when your hands look like the picture, it’s almost definitely because you’re chronically dehydrated.

      I am not so sure. As I said in the post I drink a lot of water.

      So I wake up and have a cup of tea and for evening meal I have a can of Pepsi. Everything else in the day is just water and never less than 1.5 litres.

      For me at least I think it was the climbing chalk and poor eating habits so lacking vitamins. I guess I’ll never truly know and it’s good advice to be hydrated.

        nah, it’s usually hand moisture that causes this. if you do a lot of stuff that dries your hands out, you’ll get it too. climbing chalk can do that. I also said 95% is hydration. vitamins can also help.

      I think the vitamin deficiency is more likely, I have similar issues. Lived in Phoenix for years and had a water bottle on hand all the time, it’s a part of the bigger picture but not the main driver I’d surmise.
