Lazy sunday--trying to recoup-bad skin
| Sun, 04-09-2006 - 3:06pm |
Hi, all. Well, I took a few days off. Am just beside myself with all the dissing and hissing (work--new computers coming up soon), and skin that looks like an elephant's behind, that I slept in. DH did ALL of the laundry, made breakfast, did dishes, put everything away, etc. He even cleaned the bathroom. My hands are covered in bandaids (Mummy Returns) and enough goop to look like Crisco. Fry me up. Ladies, I need help. Doc is on vacation, and I dont know what else I can put on my skin. Ideas? Thanks. WHiz.

You poor thing!!! I have horrible skin, esp in the winter time. I get bad cracks that don't heal for months. What I have been doing is slathering Burts Bees Hand Salve on, caking it on, and then wearing gloves (there are special ones for wearing at night). It really does work! DH also got me rubber gloves to wear for washing dishes and those help too, I feel like I can clean anything in them!!! Good luck and maybe someone has some other good ideas.
p.s. I always call myself "Les Nesman" with the bandaids; don't know if you are old enough to remember the show WKRP in Cincinnati. :)
I get awful dry cracked hands from hand washing at work, especially in the winter. Then I use hand sanitzer after I change my kids' diapers, and my hands are toast. I like the Nexcare skin crack care. It's a clear liquid that comes in a little bottle like nail polish. I tend to use whatever hand lotion we have in the house, but those creams and balms are a lot thicker and are probably more helpful. Good luck :)

Okay, before I go any further, here is my disclosure: I work for the company.
Having said that, when I worked in the call Centre, the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream was one of the few products that I used to get GOOD calls about. People said it really helped with the cold Canadian winters. I tried it, and it did help, but it was also kinda greasy. I like the Aveeno Hand Cream much better (we make that too!)
They are on the expensive side, so I would suggest if you want to try it, call the company and see if they give out coupons. I know we do here in Canada, but they may not in the US.
I hope you feel better. When I first came to Edmonton, my skin would literally peel away from my hands and bleed (gross I know). But I guess thats what I get from moving to a city thats only a few hours from the Arctic Circle!!!!
