Once your climbing session is complete make sure to wash your hands and apply some Climber Schmutz. As previously mentioned the best way to avoid a skin catastrophe is prevention. We as climbers dry our hands out excessively during a long session, especially if you use chalk with a drying agent. The best way to avoid annoying skin injuries is by letting your skin recover before it gets too thin and dry.
