During the winter I took up a job of housekeeping and the harsh chemicals took a toll on my hands. Most of the time I wore gloves but there were a few times I didn't. Unfortunately those few times really messed up my hands, they became extremely dry, rough and scaly. I tried putting all different kinds of lotion. Lotion for dry skin,extra moisturizing, for rough skin but nothing worked. The lotions would moisturize for a short time and then my hands would go back to being rough. I would be embarrassed to show my hands and would reapply and reapply lotion but nothing would help. My hands looked aged like if my hands had aged 30 years over a couple of months. I was ready to buy something expensive until I remembered I had gotten a sample of Burt's Bees hand salve with a lip balm I had bought. It was really greasy and I could only put it on at night but it helped. I figured there had to be something else from them that I could put on during the day. So I took a trip to the store and found the Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme. I put it on and the next day my hands were so much better I couldn't believe it. It was a bit greasy but not as much as the salve. I kept using it for a couple of days after that and my hands looked and felt better. It's a miracle worker and best of all its not super expensive. It comes in a glass container and it's 2.0 oz. It was $10 and you only need a small amount. I haven't bought a new one and I've had it for about 3 months now. I definitely recommend it for anyone that has rough hands or just wants softer hands. Once I finish this one I will purchase another one.
