How I Made It Through the Winter

  Winters in the desert climate can be brutal on the skin, and this year was a particularly cold, dry winter for Southern California. As a result, my hands became extremely chapped and irritated. I tried just about every over the counter cream, lotion, and ointment available, with no relief. The product would either wear off after a few minutes or wouldn't do anything at all, except leave a trail of smears on everything  I touched.
 As a last resort, I gave Burt's Bees a try, since I had read great reviews online about many of their products. I was very surprised at how well the hand cream worked. It hydrated and soothed my hands without leaving them greasy or sticky. Plus, the effects lasted  for quite a long time. After using the hand cream 3-4 times a day, my hands were back to normal in about 5 days. That's saying a lot, considering I had scaley patches of dry skin on several fingers.
I have added this hand cream up to my "product that I can't live without" list.
