Going through the bathroom cabinet this week since we’re packing for the move.
Found 6 half-used tubs of lotion, none of which I remember buying on purpose!
Fall’s already doing its usual thing on my arms and hands, and I don’t want to haul a whole cabinet’s worth of stuff into the smaller place just to have it sit there again…
So how few products can this actually work with?
Is there a basic 2-step thing people stick to for fall, or does cutting down just bring the flare-ups back?
I don’t think it’s really the number of products that matters, it’s more about not swapping in something new every time fall hits since that’s usually what sets mine off. We went through the same declutter before a move and the flare-ups actually calmed down once the cabinet was emptier, not the other way around.
That part about swapping in something new each fall really resonates. Last autumn I kept trying a different cream every time my hands got dry, thinking the old one must have stopped working, and looking back that was probably just irritating things further instead of helping.
