    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.

    Landscaper, a d likewise. Blisters beget no callous, only fresh pink skin to blister once more.

    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.
