No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

What most people forget (myself included) is to moisturise after washing, even your hands. Just a bit of coconut oil like you've probably got in your kitchen is enough, you don't need to grease up like you're going to the Olympics or anything. Coconut oil is absorbed very quickly and completely by the skin, making it perfect for some quick moisture to keep your skin from drying out so it stays supple (also why it's used as a "carrier" oil in many topical medications, it ensures swift transdermal delivery of the drug).
Dry skin itches, and because it's inflexible it cracks and bleeds more easily. Your skin is your largest organ; take good care of it and keep it moist.
I hate the fatty feeling of moistened hand skin. The occasional crack is annoying but I would never switch it for moisturizing.
Me too, but coconut oil absorbs quickly and completely enough that I find I can suffer through it until it feels normal again.
I had to start, because I moved somewhere much drier than I'm used to, and my skin hurt and itched all the time until I started moisturising a little.
I hate the greasy feeling as well. What I did was find a lotion that absorbed quickly and didn’t feel oily just after a few minutes from applying. Took a while of trial and error, but once I found a good one, I stuck with it.
Try “gloves in a bottle”. It soaks in immediately instead of leaving your hands greasy.
I support you on the moisturizing thing, but can't follow you down the coconut oil road. I can't stand the smell of coconut. Being someone who burns easily in the sun, I chalk it up to many years of smelling shitty fake coconut scented sunblock products.
As a massage therapist, I have to wash my hands constantly. During the colder months I have to moisturize or my skin cracks. Whatever unscented product that doesn't leave me leaving greasy fingerprints all over the place is usually good enough until I wash my hands again in another hour.
