Blue Handed

[Niagara]

11. I'm at the age now that my nails are so weak

They peel, split, break, and bend back. So awhile ago I received my new vehicle sticker registration and it took me over an hour to remove the sticky from the label because I have no nail length left. I seriously thought I was going to have to use scotch tape to place it in my windshield.

My skin has been terrible and it feels "off". I don't know how else to describe it.

The bottom of my feet this past winter were so dry.

About 3 weeks ago, I purchased pure castor oil without hexane.

I put the castor oil on the bottom of my feet and hands alone without mixing it with any lotion or moisturizer. Yes, castor oil is thick sort of like honey.

I've been putting a few drops of castor oil in lotions and moisturizers for my face, neck, arms, and legs. My skin doesn't feel "off" anymore.

Every since I've been using it my nails seem to be actually growing. I don't want to jinx myself but it really does seems to be helping but it's only been 3 weeks.

I normally wouldn't use hand sanitizer because of how bad my nails have been for the last several years. But now it feels like I found a secret to my skin and nail problems.

Also, I'm weird about touching certain surfaces. I always keep washable gardening work gloves in my car to pump gas with. I was like this before Covid. I also keep full size alcohol wipes in my car too.

Sorry, didn't mean to talk your ear off!!
