ITS RAINING LUCIO MAINS , AMEN ! <| sep |> So with vaseline or Aquaphor , you really only need about a dimetonickel sized amount for your whole face . I bet you ' re using a good bit more than that . Warm it up a bit between your hands I like to use my middle 3 fingers on each hand and rub them together to help warm it up , which will make it more spreadable . Also , if it ' s possible , could you go see a dermatologist ? I have two good friends with OCD that can sometimes manifest in weird skin routines , and I know both of them have said that having a doctorprescribed routine really helped them to kind of relax I know that ' s a shitty explanation for how OCD works , but I don ' t know how else to explain it because they knew somebody else was working on their skin for them .
