Heredity Strikes Again

[jducoeur]

I've been denying it for quite a while, but my cuticles are going entirely to pot. It's a trivial little thing, but the ongoing annoyance is getting to me gradually: at any given time, I have at least one or two fingers where the skin is receding just an Eeensy Weeensy Bit from the nail and peeling slightly -- invisible to anyone but me, but painful as a paper cut.

I've never really known *why* my father has always been so diligent about moisturizing his hands all the time, but I think I've found out. Time to pick up another habit from him...

Shea butter is a wonderful, wonderful thing. You can only use a dab of it if you don't want to be rubbing it in forever, but one dab lasts more or less an entire day.

Hmm. Don't know it, but I'll keep an eye open for it and see how it does...
