Hi, I have OCD, and this is an extremely common thing for me to do. I've never posted on anything before so, I'm sorry if I come off odd.

I constantly get triggered(?) by liquids or like, substances like grease, vegetable oil, or food oils. For example, when I eat significantly oily or greasy food, like a pizza (which I rarely eat because it's greasy.) or something, if I'm eating in my room I'll feel the extreme need to not touch anything while I'm eating because I'll get the substance from the greasy food onto my bed or my room and after I'm done, I'll immediately have to wash my hands and face.

If I get the oily substance on my clothes, I'll immediately take the clothes off and wash them because if I don't I feel like it'll get on my body, and my body will get oily and feel the need to take a shower.

Does anyone else do this or know what it is?

    Cetaphil facial cleanser does that for me. Removes grease without drying. I use it on my shoulders too.

      I use something like it. Every evening I wash my face, let it dry, and use an exfoliator like that. Every morning I shower & apply a moisturiser afterwards. Sometimes I wipe my face 'dry' in the afternoon with a paper towel/kleenex if needed.
