I have the “I hate feeling wet/oily when I’m supposed to be dry” autism. I also have the “It feels like 10s of itchy razor-blade cuts when my skin is so dry it cracks” autism. This cold front has my skin too dry and cracked. It’s about to be worse than air drying after swimming at the beach and then putting on a shirt. I’m running out of meltdown prevention juice. Does anyone have any lotion or other remedies? I’m like 3 tragedies away from meltdown.
Winner: CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion!! And CeraVe PM for the faceeee!! I feel my skin starting to be less mad at me already. Thank you everyone!
I’m in the same boat as you, I can’t deal with greasy hands. So in the winter, I put on a good amount of O’Keefs Working Hands right before I go to sleep for the night. The sticky lotion feeling doesn’t bother me when I’m falling asleep since I’m not using my hands for anything, and by the morning my hands are a lot less dry and the stickiness is gone.
Working Hands shouldn’t feel sticky or oily. You’re probably putting on too much. A small dollop the size of a pencil eraser is more than enough for both hands.
