A week of less than 10% humidity is wreaking havoc on my hands. Theyāre dry, scaly, and cold, which is making it hard as heck to type anything. I donāt do lotion often, but I think itās going to happen today.
@jimmitchell I have to give in around this time every year too.
@Annie The sheer number of my guy friends Iāve straight-up castigated for not moisturizingā¦
@jimmitchell š
@rscottjones @jarrod Ah, yeah I get that. I donāt love the feel myself but I hate having dry cracked skin more. i rely mostly on cuticle oil during the day (apply on top of hands/fingers only, not on palms) and intensive-care cream all over hands right before bed (bonus: keeps me from doing one last phone check) + good exfoliation (this is key!! EXFOLIATE) and body oil in shower. I realize no one asked for my hot tips on moisturized hands. you got āem anyway.
@combatdavey keep fighting the good fight, brother
@Annie I shall. I wish stuff like this didnāt get weirdly gendered whenever it did (~40 years ago?) as itās basically the equivalent of not drinking water.
