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.

Hey Whiz, I bet it is the alcohol. I know my hands have been the worst this year when I've been using the hand sanitizer more often. The Nexcare stuff you just paint on and leave to dry. It has a protective barrier in it, but it helps stuff heal too. It is non-prescription. It seemed a better buy than the liquid bandage stuff beacuse with that, it comes in applicator tubes that get used up quickly. My bottle of Skin Crack Care is still half full, and I used it all winter. You are dipping the brush into the same bottle all of the time, but if you don't share with anyone, I think it would be sanitary (kind of like makeup, maybe).

Hey whiz,
From the nursing corner, here are my favorite hand creams:
Avon "Silicone Glove" (you can sometimes get 3 tubes for $5 on the avon website)
Gold Bond "ultimate healing" (7.99 range)
Johnson's "softcream extra care" (yellow tube) (4.99 range)
Nexcare (the brush on crack stuff) also makes a moisturizing hand sanitizer (8.99 for a large pump bottle)...I buy this because the stuff they supply us w/ at work peels the skin right off my hands.

Most drugstores around here (Walgreen, CVS) take back cosmetics with reciept if you don't like them, I would assume lotions, hand creams, etc would also be returnable. As for the bag balm look near the infant stuff. Lots of new mothers use it if nursing, I think it has lanolin in it. It's in a green tin. There is another one called udder cream I think that is in black and white tube type packaging like a cow print that is supposed to do the same thing.
Good luck,
