How can I keep the skin on my knuckles from getting thick from cardioboxing?

Hello. Just started light cardio-boxing sessions. I love it EXCEPT for the fact that I%26#039;m worried it will turn the skin on my knuckles thick and ugly. I am really fussy about my hands and have so far managed to keep them in decent condition. I use those black wrapping thinggies -- they help but not much. I don%26#039;t want the skin on my knuckles going all thick and scaly -- apologies to the people rolling their eyeballs heavenwards -- it%26#039;s my girlie thing!|||Buy a strong skin moisturiser like sudocream - one that%26#039;s used to treat things like psoriasis. Apply this before and after your workout. Applying it beforehand will help keep your hands soft and supple while boxing so that the movements you%26#039;re making don%26#039;t stretch the skin as you punch. Putting it on directly after the workout will really help speed up the recovery process of your hands.





If you do this, you probably won%26#039;t need to wear the hand wraps - but if you find the moisturiser is wearing off during the workout, you can try wearing the hand wraps and apply a much thicker layer of cream underneath (it%26#039;ll need to be thicker as the wraps will absorb some). That%26#039;ll help keep the cream on even when you%26#039;re punching things.





I kickboxed for years and followed this process religiously because just like you, I didn%26#039;t want to end up with ugly hands - my skin stayed soft as a baby%26#039;s!|||Try and rub on petroleum jelly all over your hands before wrapping it up. It will get stinky though after but it would help moisturize your hands and knuckles and prevent them from going thick and scaly.





After doing cardioboxing though, just use 70% isopropyl alcohol and avoid washing your hands with water for at least an hour just to let the heat disperse. This is one of the main causes as to why your hands, knuckles and all go dry and scaly. Oh and once one hour has passed and you have already washed your hands, rub on some moisturising lotion after.





I%26#039;m no cardioboxer, but I know this works. I used to be a guitar player and my fingers had the same issue.
