Help for Springtime Skin

Spring cleaning, gardening, home improvement projects, a long winter- all have the ability to turn your hands dry, cracked, and painfully red.

A member of my Homesteading group recently started a discussion on the best things to use for Springtime hands. Here are some of the most popular, from people who really put their hands to work in Spring:

From the Store:

• Bag Balm
• Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream
• Burt's Bees Farmer's Friend Hand Salve
• Corn Huskers Hand Treatment Lotion
• Vitamin E Oil
  

From Home:

• Aloe gel- right from the plant
• Homemade goat milk lotion
• Vaseline (applied before or after working)
• Coconut oil or jojoba oil
• Homemade scrub- oil and salt or oil and sugar
• Warm Olive Oil

Gloves are also important in protecting your hands, and can also be used with one of the above methods for overnight treatment.

Happy Spring!
