My hands were killing me, this stuff saved me!

My hands were killing me, this stuff saved me!
I work with a lot of solvents. I also now wash my hands and use hand sanitizers in quantities here-to-for unimaginable. I begin waking up with skin so dry it was actually painful. So I did what I usually do in such circumstances which rather than look up dodgy information on the Internet, I asked the experts.I asked every person I knew who had great skin what their secret was. I have an acquaintances who’s skin is so buttery soft. I also have a friend who is a dermatologist. She works at a world-class hospital. I specifically asked for non-prescription stuff. And while she deals with more serious problems in her work, she actually uses this for herself at home. Doctors have to wash their hands even more frequently and with stronger soap. She informed me that most doctors she knows just use nothing and end up with horribly dry skin. Go figure. But the ones that use something typically will use Vanicream.And I pretty much got the same answer from every woman that I asked, and the dermatologist. And that’s vanicream. They told me to put it on my hands before I go to bed and wear gloves to bed. This is the cream and it’s a lot thicker and stickier than the lotion which I think is more for every day use. This is more intense and I think it’s meant to go on and sit on your skin overnight. I also bought the lotion which I use several times throughout the day. That leaves a lot less resident. It’s all part of a comprehensive treatment system here. Within three days my hand started feeling not only back to normal but better than they have been since I was in my youth.They told me to put it on my hands before I go to bed and wear gloves to bed.

Within three days my hand started feeling not only back to normal but better than they have been since I was in my youth.I’ve started to use it on other parts where I get really dry skin like on the elbow and knee joints and it’s been quite effective. It’s reasonably priced and it works well. I appreciate the fact that it doesn’t really have a scent and it really contains no controversial ingredients.There is another brand of a similar type that I don’t want to put the name in here because that’s usually what seems to get my reviews rejected. It was also the go to brand for many many years but they recently change the recipe and if you look up this other product, you will see that the more recent reviews have been very negative. If you’re familiar with the singer Bobby McFerrin, and go “who Ferrin”, this other product will rhyme with that.I have since passed this recommendation on the several other friends and everybody has been quite happy with the results. No more of the mineral oil chemical garbage that I used to just grab from the drugstore aisle. This is the stuff.I know it’s a little hard to demonstrate but I tried to take some close-up of my hands. The first pic I’ve been using the cream and lotion regularly, and on the second picture the other hand I stopped using it for about a day and a half to see if I can tell any difference. I certainly can but I don’t know if it’s demonstrable through photographs. But yes my hand that I stopped using the lotion on and actually got a little more red. I guess the dryness can cause subdermal inflammation. You can clearly see the difference in texture though between the cream and the lotion. I don’t know if that will be helpful to anyone but I think if you’re going to try the stuff you should get both.
