OUCH!!




I don't know if i posted these pics already or not. If so, i do apologize. This is a pic I took this winter. It was a reminder to myself to use hand lotion during the (ha ha) Texas Cold. Of course, constantly having my hands in chemicals all day at work doesn't help either.

Just look at it!! Looks like I got burned! Every winter, even before I became a dry cleaner, my knuckles would crack and bleed. When I was in high school, I refused to use lotion because it was always greasy. Mom got me some Utter Cream (ew) at the farm store.

Its purpose is to soothe a cow's udders and to prevent them from becoming dry and cracked. Works just fine on my little hands though. And it's not greasy!

After becoming a dry cleaner, the problem worsened over the winter. Mom bought me some stuff at Bath & Body Works called Type Shea Personality. Comes in a little blue bottle, very much worth the price! If you have dry skin, get this stuff right now!!
