I put on a lot of lotion, I’m worse when it comes to my feet, I constantly think their dry, try to fight the urge as best as you can. Good luck!
Omg yes. This is the very first symptom of my OCD that I really noticed. I’ve been obsessively applying lotion to my face for probably about 10 years now. Best things I’ve done include drinking more water so I don’t feel dry, only moisturizing certain times of day (after shower, before bed, etc)
i’m glad someone else can relate!! i have it with my hands. drinking more water is something i definitely need to do although my hands aren’t actually dry they’re really slimey tbh so i’m pretty sure it’s just all in my head. thanks for the reply! :)
Lol I don't do lotion, but I've been obsessively applying chapstick for almost 10+ years. With help from Leah, a NOCD therapist, I'm finally cutting back a LOT, but I can tell how much doing this has really hurt the integrity of my lips. I'd definitely recommend getting help before it gets any worse. :)
I apply chapstick a lot to just not as much as lotion. i’m glad to see a NOCD therapist is helping! gives me hope! but yeah my hands are not doing well i literally get grey buildup on my hands that i have to scrape off. i am working on getting help, thank you for your response! :)
