Here’s the secret: your face and hands are losing moisture at the exact same speed, but your face gets the VIP treatment because we look at it in the mirror. Your hands are just there, typing away in the dark. They are both victims of soap, wind, and your terrible habit of leaning your chin on your palm (which transfers face oil to hand and hand dirt to face—a full circle of chaos).
