Chalk and hands

[Gpcpa]

Hi Coach,

In your book, it says that "chalk is always a good idea," and that "dry skin is less prone to folding and abrasion." What does folding mean in this context?

Are skin folds little lines in our hands? Is there a good picture I can see, or a website I can be directed to?

My wife asked me this very question last night after I attempted to do the laundry.
