Tracee explained that her hands have become drier than normal because she’s constantly washing her hands to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Speaking on the method she uses to replenish moisture in her hands she said in part; “If this is the time also to practice hand health and to be safe and to be loving and gentle and kind with each other, which we also should always be doing, it is also a time to be as loving and gentle and kind to ourselves, and I think that includes our hands. So what I’ve been doing is covering my hands in Bag Balm.”

She continued; “I like to do it at the end of the night because I don’t want sticky hands when I’m doing other stuff,” said Ross, who finishes the routine by sliding her palms into a fresh pair of white socks. “It’s like a little gentle loving version of self-care to replenish the moisture in your hands.”
