only semi related but ive been gifted with soft skin, the kind that old men would handshake and say "you never worked a real day in your life!" i work a blue collar job. some people are just gifted.
I have baby soft skin, as noted by male and female friends alike, despite working tons of physical jobs including driving fence posts for a summer. I'm pretty sure it's a condition called Ehlers-Danlos, in my case, but I'm not officially diagnosed, just have every symptom. Learned about it through my DNA testing, there was a gene there that was connected to it.
Lol or you know how to use lotion?
Older gen hated sunscreen and lotion.
I don't use lotion and still have very soft skin. I also work in a print shop with plenty of heavy lifting and manual labour.
