What is your favorite hand cream?

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:46:14 +0000

I have fairly okay hands. But when the cold weather comes, it starts to dry out. I have been looking for a good hand cream and wonder what you guys are using. I am open to any brand. Thanks.

i like suave aloe vera lotion. It’s great because it doesn’t have much alcohol in it or perfumes and it really moisturizes and heals my skin because of the aloe vera.

My hands are extremely dry after scrubbing my carpet. if i don’t put cream on them they crack and bleed. it looks like i burned both my hands. any suggestions?

Hello, Yes, I know what you mean. I use Bali Body Butter. It has so many uses but for dry or cracked skin its the best I have ever used. I order mine online at www.cityofsvelte.com You can read more about the South Seas products. I swear by them!

What’s a good foot cream for diabetics?

admin — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:10:58 +0000

I have no problems for now but would like to care for them before I do develope any.

lubriderm lotion, but use the lotion not cream you dont have to rub it in as hard diabetics are very prone to foot pressure ulcers simply rubbing an area too hard can cause them. Also be sure to keep feet dry and try to keep the elevated off of bed to prevent rubbing witch also causes the beggining
of ulcers good luck!

Does hand cream work anywhere on the body?

admin — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:10:56 +0000

ive used that new intensive rescue vaseline hand cream on my face :S, but my face feels really soft recently!

just wondering if you can actually use it and if anyone else has?

Most hand creams are just a bit thicker than body lotions, but if it works for your face then there’s a good chance it’ll work everywhere! Try it and see, it won’t do any harm, you obviously haven’t had a reaction to it so it shouldn’t be a problem. Might just take a little bit longer to soak in though, but that will also depend on how dry your skin is.
I use all sorts on my dry legs, there hasn’t been anything that hasn’t worked.

What is the difference between Bath and Body Works body cream and hand cream?

admin — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:00:05 +0000

Or, less specifically, is there any real difference between creams marketed as "hand creams" and "body creams", regardless of brand?

The location of where the cream goes on probably has something to do with the nomenclature. Hand cream usually has a softener for rough hand skin, and body has smoother applications. The term ‘bath’ means the cream is soluble in water and can be used during bath or shower.

Can oxistat (oxiconazole nitrate cream) treat athletes foot?

admin — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:00:05 +0000

It’s an antifungal cream my doctor prescribed for me to treat ring worm. Can it treat athletes foot?

You should never use a prescription for any reason other than the prescribed purpose.
Consult a physician.
GOOD LUCK.

Is there a muscle cream that will sink into the sole of your foot?

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:56:02 +0000

I have some swelling and muscle pain in a certain area on the bottom of my right foot. I have tried applying Icy Hot to it, but unlike everywhere else on my body( excluding my hand print areas) the cream does not seem to do anything. It doesn’t seem to sink in and sooth the muscles there. I understand the sole of your feet is where your skin is the thickest; this may be the cause of the unsuccessful soothing. Is there a muscle cream that will sink into the sole of your feet?

you dont necessarily have to apply anti inflammatory creams to a specific area to get relief, in fact you will get a better effect if you take a week long course of ibuprofen 3 times a day for 2 weeks
most muscle creams are what is known as a rubefacient – which means they heat up an area, so any heat would have the same effect – a heat pad, foot bath etc

How important is it that I get a seperate hand cream?

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:56:01 +0000

Usually I just use my regular body cream on my hands, but lately I’ve been hearing that I should get one specifically formulated for my hands. Do you think this is just a marketing ploy? Or are these creams actually different in that they’re specifically designed for the hands?

Mostly marketing. If you look at the "active" ingredients on the package, most lotions and creams share the same ingredients. If your hands are drier than the rest of your body (it’s common) others could be suggesting something stronger to help with that. You can use something like ammonium lactate cream, which is prescribed often but does not require a prescription.

If your hands are fine using the lotion you’re using now, don’t bother.

Does the athletes foot cream or spray work better?

admin — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:06:35 +0000

The cream is far better…it’s more exact and the amounts can be applied to the effect area better
