There’s definitely a sweet spot for moisture, the skin is most grippy when well hydrated. But when you have a fresh application of lotion it’s acting more as a lubricant between your hand and the lid.
I think you could compare your skin to cloth, dry it’ll skid across the floor easily, wet it and it’ll cling to the floor and move no further than precisely as far as you push it.
Having really dry skin does not help with grip.
That’s true.
That’s not true
That’s true!
Less slip with dry skin though. Put moisturizer on and try to open a tight jar and you’ll need to squeeze harder to prevent your hand from slipping
