the inevitable downside to mild OCD

[MissMillie]

my hands are so dry and flaky and I fear that cracked skin is in my future.

yes, I'm using lotion. But given how often I wash my hands, I would suggest you all buy stock in Lubriderm.

1. Hi. Family member of OCD sufferer here with an idea:

Have you tried EV coconut oil? It feels oily going on, but if you let it soak in for about 2 minutes it seems to work better than lotions. I think it is closer to our own skin oils. Good luck!:hi:
