Hang on, do you wash your body with soap or sorboline?

Putting you on the spot here, man.

No, no, no.

Sawbottom glycerine, man.

It's really cheap.

There's a whole bunch of varieties.

Pick a nice one that's got the right consistency.

Some people like it soft and squishy.

I prefer it a little bit firmer, so I get it from the tub.

And you wash your body with this, not soap, not body wash.

Use sorbolene.

Talk to your GP about it.

I started doing this after I did a term in dermatology in the kids' hospital and there'd be kids who'd come in bright red as though they'd been sprayed with red paint and we put it on sorbolene and glycerin for a couple of weeks and it'd make it go away.

So try the sorbolene and glycerin.

Wash with it.

It normally melts at a higher temperature.

So the skin temperature is anything from 15 up to 30 degrees C or a bit higher.

Your core temperature is 37.

And you need that difference in temperature so the heat energy can travel from a higher temperature to a lower temperature and then to the outside world.

I had an experience once when I was having this chocolate that melted on my tongue and I'd done some laps of the ocean pool and I came back and my daughter gave me a cup of coffee and the chocolate that normally melted on my tongue.
