The case of dry hands.

"I love to put on lotion, sometimes I'll watch t.v. and go into a lotion trance for an hour.  I try to find brands that don't taste bad in case anyone wants to taste me".
-Angeina Jolie

Correct me if I'm wrong.  However, isn't the whole purpose of lotion to moisturize?  Yeah, my thoughts exactly.  Sigh.  Honestly, I think I may have a serious, serious problem.  It turns out I am completely unable to walk into a store and leave without making a purchase.  I KNOW!  Half of the time it's just lip gloss, or nail polish, or small bottles of lotion.  Which leads me to this little gem.  Ugh.  So, I have really, really, reallllllyyyyy (did I say really?) sensitive skin.  When I complain about not being able to wash the dishes because it dries out my skin, I am not kidding.  Oh, no.  My hands get really dry with just about any soap you can imagine.  The cheaper the soap, the drier the hands.  Which means that I am terrified of public restrooms.  And, not just because of the obvious reasons.  So, the other day as I was walking through Whole Foods sipping my smoothie I came across the lotion section.  Holy moly, lotion for days my friends.  I don't necessarily go for scented lotion.  I especially don't go for lotions that smell like fruit (I've had a really bad experience with Bath and Body Works "Coconut Lime Verbena").  However, this lemon cream stuff, ah, it smelled like a cupcake.  Smelling like a cup cake is okay in my book.  I was excited.  I couldn't wait to get back to my office and try this stuff out.  Turns out the only good thing about this lotion is that it smells like a cupcake.  Apparently, it does nothing in the moisture department.  Nothing.  It makes my hands more dry, actually.  Which is extremely annoying.  My hands need to be silky soft.  J.R. Watkins I am disappointed.  Heartbroken.  Crushed.  My dream of smelling like dessert completely thrown out the window.  So, if you are like me and have a serious case of dry hands, do not, under any circumstance fall for the lemon cream.  Don't even think about it.  My mission on finding THE hand lotion of ALL hand lotions continues.  In the meantime I'll continue to let the dishwasher do its job.
