Do you know what the starting line up of an NBA team would look like WITHOUT lotion??? Not a pretty sight.
My skin gets dry though. I use that cow stuff - the stuff for cow tits, to keep my knuckles from cracking.
I used to catch shit cause friends would come over my house back in the day and see the bottle of lotion next to my bed and assume I used it to masturbate.
No, I get eczema. On my hands. They get dry and crack and bleed. It fucking hurts. Thanks the gods for real oatmeal soap and Noxema. Most lotions, just make it worse. So do most hand soaps. Something in them I guess...a common ingredient. But I keep Noxema at my house, and in my car, and Yardley oatmeal soap (THANK YOU Walgreens!!!) at my house and my ex's.
This stuff is sold at Walmart. It was originally designed for cow tits though back in the 30's in Wisconsin. Cow tits get rough handled from the cold and dirty, dirty, dirty man hands and milk machines. If it's good enough to keep a cows tits in commission, it's good enough for my hands.
Actually, it from severely dry skin... I'm at my most ashy state right after showering... I have to lubricate myself from head to toe just about. Watching you guys try to figure out what "ashy" is was one of the most hilarious things I've seen in a while...
Exfoliate before you lubricate. Try a loofah, or some apricot scrub. If you remove the dead cells first, the lotion absorbs better. I never get ashy. I'm the same damn shade of pink all year round.
Nobody's actually white, like nobody's actually black. Most people are just different shades of beige to brown. Except us soulless gingers. We really are *pink*. Sigh...
Its nice of your ex to still care about your skin. I guess the occassional booty call requires a soft feel.
My mother taught us to do the sign of the cross on our face with Pond's lotions. Forehead, cheek, chin then other cheek.
