I don’t because certain oils burn my skin and I am always nervous about trying a new product.
I always wear a baseball cap and use Banana Boat SPF 50 for babies. I go in from about 12-2pmSo what do you do to keep from burning? I need some tips please, or else I'll have to spend this summer mostly indoors like last summer.
Thanks W Willowy , I'll try this for my hands. I know what that zillion tiny cracks feels like, invisible but anytime you move your hands it's like some weird Twilight Zone episode taking place on your knuckles It doesn't hurt but it does sting and it's just irritating. Plus, who wants to shake hands with a bloody pawI have cracks all over my hands during the winter (the seeping is from a zillion tiny cracks). Ouchies. The hazards of postal work---paper is very drying. The only hands I've seen that are worse than a postal worker's are my vet's hands; it looks like he gets in regular machete fights, poor guy. I suppose having your hand up a cow half the time, getting bitten and scratched by various creatures, and then disinfecting for surgery and just plain washing all the time will do that.
Secret for when they get really bad: rub your hands with a nice big dollop of Crisco and plain white granulated sugar, until the sugar is dissolved. Put some gloves on and leave it for several hours (overnight is good but I always end up taking the gloves off in my sleep so my sheets get all greasy. So maybe while watching TV is better). It will sting but they'll be mostly healed by morning. I suppose if I did that every night my hands would be in pretty good condition, but eww. It's just too gooey.
Cerave is very good. I use Cerave facial wash and hand lotion. But it's too thick to leave on my face for long. I can feel it.
Yes. I'm so pale I'm practically see-through, so I've been using a daily moisturizer with a UV/UA sun block since I was about 12.Do you wear moisturizer? What is your moisturizer of choice?
