My skin's been drying out like crazy this month. I actually had to use lotion! My knuckles sting so bad now. I've never really had to use lotion in the past. My skin would sort of dry out a little, but it wouldn't be that bothersome.

But damn, like every time I wash my hands now, my knuckles dry out completely. Gotta lube'em up. It's ridiculous.

Yep, happening to me too. I've got some spots on my wrists that are getting dry and cracked because of the temperature (I wear gloves while at work, but short sleeves, and they're right above the glove area). I like winter, but I sure don't like how it treats my skin. ;;

Lotion or Working Hands cream helps, at least. Personally use the latter, hasn't failed me for years, and you only need a tiny dab per application.

Winter and constant hand-washing will do that to you. We had one lady that once worked in the Deli get a really bad chemical burn from using so much hand sanitizer due to constantly changing tasks. They kicked her out of the Deli after she got checked into the docs and got a note for it.

Lube up kids. Your skin will thank you.

Same boat here, but I've been getting a red dryness rash around my lips no matter how much I moisturize, drink water, etc. So annoying!!!

All this dryness talk reminds me of the time my grandma gifted me some deodorant and coincidentally, night after night after my showers in the afternoon I would be itchy on my chin, arms and torso constantly. Stopped using that particular deodorant, and mysteriously the itchiness went away.

So...day before Thanksgiving shopping for food began at 10 till 7 am at my store, and yet we were supposed to open the doors up at 7 am on the dot. Our bakers were in at 3 am baking bread and pies needed for the day. None of them checked our online orders, so I had to go in and print them all up.

All. 212. Online orders. I ran out of the first packet of paper and had to open another one to keep printing. Us cake decorators had about 50 online orders plus the 41 we had in the bin for our walk-ins.

Was in at 5 am, came out almost at 3 pm and I'm tired. Retail sucks the most around the holidays, and there's no need to tell me otherwise.

I will be up bright and early cooking up a storm in my kitchen for Turkey Day. Looking forward to the Peach Cobbler the most out of everything. I hope everyone’s day is amazing tomorrow.
