The majority of households now have a dishwasher that saves your hands from washing dishes every day. If you usually wash your dishes by hands you may want to consider using a rubber kitchen glove to protect them. Using a glove can go for any cleansing you are doing around the house, or even with the kids, always protect your hands from exposure to excess water and soap.

The direct contact allows the sun rays to go and cause damage, mostly to the back of your hands or maybe even all of your hands depending on how you are steering the wheels.
