This Almond and Milk Hand Cream by Burt’s Bee was recommended to me by a friend who knows I Have been suffering from eczema on my top middle finger. Skin would become extremely itchy and little bubble red spots will appear on the surface of the skin, it is extremley uncomfortable. Also no matter how much I moisturise my skin it will still become dry you can sit and watch the skin actually cracking apart and this is one of the most painful experiences as its on the knuckle areas upwards so skin is pulling all the time.
Especially being a mum I wash and sanitise my hand a hell of a lot and most of time have no time to moisturise my hand. One tip I have picked up is to dry hands very dry, DO NOT let water stay on your skin as this dries it out even more causing skin to become even drier.
I have used some of Burts Bee 🐝 products but not the hand cream/balm range they have the almond milk one. They also do a bananna one which has the same balm consistency.
As you can see in the picture it is quite thick texture, this is particularly good for night time so it can be absorbed into the skin deeper. Maybe on eczema areas you could try putting a thick layer on so it acts as a barrier to the skin.
You may find the product quite greasy and thick but this is expected in a balm in order to stick on the skin and replenish the moisture. Hence why this is particularly nice for bedtime, if however you find it too oily it maybe worth investing in some cotton gloves to wear to bed.
The cotton gloves wull help lock in more moisture making hands baby soft in the morning. Personally I have gone through so many pots and i can say my finger with eczema has been kept under control with no major flair ups and dry painful cracks. another tip would beto use throughout the day so it forms a good barrier from water drying out the skin.
This product is just so nice I would rate it 8/10 as the only downfall for me is the smell on the product, it does take a little getting use to as its natural ingredients. If you want to try the product but sceptical you could wait till christmas sales when you get the miniatures or sale prices as it be so much cheaper.
Why not try it yourself if you suffer eczema or dry skin.
