My buddy had this weird block of I think he called "climbers lotion" in a tin and I want some so bad.

My hands are so fucking dry, but I hate how slippery my hands are after using lotion.

@fack I cannot recommend a hand scrub enough for when hands get, like, a layer of dry skin so much that lotion doesn't penetrate.

Here's a random recipe, but really, any salt and any skin safe oil should work (creeklinehouse.com/diy-gardene). Especially with men, it seems like the salt (or sugar or whatever) really helps the oil penetrate better. I dunno if oily hands are better than slippery ones, though.

If you wanna buy it in a store, any old body scrub should work alright, too, but some of those have a little soap in them to help em wash off, which might not help your situation as much as one with less soap would. I like to get something really thick in a jar, especially if I can see chunks of salt or oil in it.

I also really like whipped cocoa butter for my skin, but since Glazed By Kay is not selling stuff right now, my usual shop won't help ya much. Lol

@starless was getting razzed for not investing in skincare products yesterday, so this unsolicited advice is pretty helpful ngl

Pretty sure someone I know had been previously recommending some kind of sugar scrub, but idk it sounds... sticky?

@fack nah, sugar dissolves in water. You use all these, like, at the sink, just wash your hands with them like it's soap, then rinse it off.
