Which part of lotion is sensory hell? I can’t stand the palms of my hands/my fingers feeling greasy but a friend taught me that you can just put lotion on the backs of your hands and rub the backs together so the other side of your hands never has to touch it (Not sure if this is applicable to you or if it makes sense haha)

def recommend getting a moisturizing body wash (or just mix your body wash with moisturizer tbh) because then you can get the moisture and then rinse off the residue right away in the shower

How do you feel about lotion that’s /slightly/ sticky feeling? The lotion I use is like that (o’keefe’s working hands) and I swear by that shit, though I’m ok with almost any kinda lotiony feel on my hands and am more so bothered by the sensation of dryness

Sticky feeling until you wipe a bit off on something else, that is. I always apply it and then gently wipe some off of my palms onto my pants
