Extreme hand-washing in lockdown
Did somebody mention moisturiser?
I’m pretty sure I bought some hand cream once… but where did I put it? In lockdown my hands are red and almost scabby. Eczema? Skateboard injuries? Obsessive cleanliness? Fight club?
I could say, “You should see the other guy.”
Instead, it’s “Pass me the Skin Repair, Ursula.” Extreme hand-washing is to blame.
Your illustration is spot on. Bravo.
You are not alone.
go online, order some from ?The Market Place…I believe all these items are “essential”
I’m beginning to understand that now.
Perhaps you will find some at the back of a cupboard. I was tidying up a bathroom drawer (now there is time for this) and was pleasantly surprised to find pottles of vitamin E cream and bee balm long forgotten. And there’s always the tin of Rawleighs when things get really rough. I hope you make such discoveries too. In The Handmaid’s Tale, I seem to remember that butter was used in the absence of hand cream – a desperate measure.
Butter! No, I’ve found something and all (!) I need is a new habit.
Try olive oil or similar, very good! Do you use face moisturiser? Excellent for hands! 🥰
I really do have moisturiser — just hopeless at remembering to use it!
My hands have never been so bad! I use lotion regularly, but it isn’t enough. Oh, well. Washing hands is one of the best things in this war against the virus.
Hands will bounce back. And yes, they are doing good work under the t
Ap.
I can identify. Ouch – my poor hands.
We are all in together in this.
Sorry about the typo! I meant to say that we are all together in this.
Either way, you still make sense.
It has me using hand cream for just about the first time in my life 🙁
I will now follow your example.
I hate the feel of hand cream, but I have had to overcome my aversion since I hate the look of distressed hands even more.
That pretty much sums it up. Plus, we would hate to get Covid-19 even more.
True.
