Laura Farnham Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 SO SOFT NATURALS, BODY LOTION BAR You gotta try this lotion bar. My hands were the worst. Dry, cracked, and looked horrible. I've tried everything you can imagine. Nothing with any results. Then I found these lotion bars at a local craft show. They look like a bar of soap. When you hold them in your hands, the warmth of your hands slightly melts the bar and you rub the lotion into your hands. The results are amazing. I have my hands back. They are made of Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Mango Butter, Mowrah Butter, Apricot Kernel Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Vitamin E. They come scented or not. They are made locally in Colorado. You can contact them Via E-mail at sosoftnaturals@hotmail.com Drop them a line for more information.

k8 Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 In another lifetime I was a hairdresser/cosmetologist. Wanna talk dry hands?? The product that has always been a GOTO in the industry is: GLYSOLID Glycerin Cream. I have terrible cracks, especially in the winter if I don't use this!! (Yes, it's easy to just forget about it til the cracks start...) It heals cracks in a matter of days and keeps hands soft. I also like the MaryKay product, but nothing works for the long haul like GLYSOLID. Many of the other products mentioned are also good, but I've tried them all!! Always go back to this one.

QuiltNutOne Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 it really prevents your hands from drying out as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennan100 Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 You mentioned using glycerin at one time. I get mine at Walgreens Pharmacy. It's in a brown plastic bottle over with the lotions and things. Sometimes they have one that is glycerin & rosewater that is in a clear bottle. I handle lots of paper work everyday and also havae rhuematoid arthritis and my right hand doesn't work very well for gripping anymore. I keep an "Aqua Ball" on my desk that I got through the office supply at work. It's supposed to have water in it for sealing envelopes but I put glycerin in it and just run my fingers over the ball and get a little glycerin on thema dn then rub it into both hands. I don't know what I would do without it! It helps me grip the stair rails, the steering wheel, papers and fabric, needles, everything! And it doesn't stain fabric or anything else! 'Tis a wonderful thingy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TishMarshall Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I use something called Grampa Gillmans..........its bee's wax and olive oil and will not transfer to the fabric......works wonders all dry skin. Tish Originally posted by PRINCESSTUCK My hands are so dry! I know when I used to work in a sewing plant I bought glyrcin and it helped with my hands can you still get it at the drug store? Does anyone's else's hand get dry and cracked and if so what do you use that will help? Also my day job I am in water a lot and I know that does not help matters none but I will try anything.

FrammaJoy Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Linda, Yes, I understand completely about the supplements. I think my father killed himself taking handfuls every day. I take very few and good quality. Vitamin E is wonderful for so many things, BUT in moderation, of course. And only the NATURAL Vitamin E. Just a note from reading Kevin Kudreau's (?) book (which I thought got absurd before I finished it): Anything you put on your skin goes INTO your body and bloodstream. If you can't EAT the product, then you should not be putting it on your skin. That's frightening, isn't it? According to his book though, the only kind of water you can drink is distilled. Just about everything else in the whole world was bad for you too and was only out there for some company to get rich on. He just happened to have a website you could go to in order to purchase all the cures, however. I quit reading at that point. Hugs, Joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Ya know, Kevin whats his name is in all kinds of trouble for fraud. I had a friend that just thought he was "all that and a bag of chips" then she found out that he was taking cancer patient's money and promising them the moon and they were just getting more sick and poor.

FrammaJoy Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I'm not surprised. He has another huge book out. You just don't know what to believe and who to trust anymore. Hugs, Joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmyhogan Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 My wife and I use both Bag Balm and Udder Cream. The Udder Cream is better to use when working with Fabric. I highly recommend it If you don't have convenient place to get it it can be purchased from Fabric Depot at http://www.fabricdepot.com/catalog.aspx?ItemKey=8703.

Mary Beth Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I think you can get Bag Balm and Udder Cream at most farm supply stores. I bought a tube of Udder Cream for a friend/co-worker once. She told me she was crowned the "Dairy Princess" at her county fair in Kansas when she was a teenager...I thought Udder Cream would be appropriate for her birthday. It went over well, and she kept it on her desk. It is very good hand cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tusistas Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I get Udder Cream in the jar and in the tube at WalMart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocoholic Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 There is a product called "Working Hands" which is really great for very dry hands. I like it a lot, but I have a friend whose hands have always looked so red and sore and she started using this and her hands look great.
