Glossary

Skin dryness

The tight, cracked feeling after repeated chalk and alcohol use.

Dry skin splits at the creases. Climbers feel it on the tips. Lifters feel it across the palm. The fix is less chalk per session, a wash afterward, and moisturizer at night. Switching to an alcohol-free cream is a reasonable experiment if alcohol is the irritant. It will dry more slowly.

If skin cracks and does not heal, or if it reacts beyond dryness, stop using the bottle and ask a clinician. Do not treat a glossary as a diagnosis.
