Phase 2: Dry Hands

During Phase II, lots of people (I'd even go so far as to say MOST people) experience mild to severe dry hands.  For me, my hands get so dry they crack and bleed.  It's really terrible.  I've been through a few rounds now, and have a really terrific idea for hand moisturizing and softening.

Dry Skin Solution

I have horrid dry skin that's really coming out with a vengence: peeling, cracking, bleeding fingers. It's not fun and trying to play cello with fingers in that state. :( I'm allergic to the soaps that the protocol allows, as they all have SLS in them. So, I started looking for something else. Where I've not been successful on the shampoo scene, I have switched from Ivory to Hand Sanitizer. No oils, so it's allowed.

Today, I was searching for solutions for a replacement lotion. I found an hCG group on Facebook who had a suggestion for me that's old as the hills: Corn Husker's Lotion. Upon looking at the ingredients list (I have some here at home already), I see there's no oil in it, either. So, it's allowed, too! And now I have my solution. Hope it helps you, too.
