Guys & hand lotion

Marni, the site you linked to is just a portal (and since I allowed a session cookie, I had to go back and delete that and disallow future ones, PITA). What's the name of the lotion you're talking about?

Sounds to me like your SO doesn't need it...maybe he drinks plenty of water and I need to stop drinking diet coke.

Well not skin lotion, but he doesn't use sunscreen.....at all. That worries me. For all the cycling he's done over the years. He hates chemical like feel of the stuff.

Do men not usually use hand lotion in the States? I'd say it's less common here among men than among women, but not uncommon, especially not among the outdoorsy ones. My dh certainly does, but he does wait until his hands are practically cracking open - then he slathers them with something immensely menthol-stinky Kind of like the way I use sunscreen...

Maybe the older and more oldfashioned guys consider it unmanly. I wouldn't know, to be honest.

Most men I know use some sort of lotion for dry skin, especially in the winter. I had no idea that some people might consider it unusual in any way. Why on earth wouldn't people use lotion on dry hands?
