Once or twice a year depending on the weather, my daughter's hands tend to become extremely dry. When they are going through their dry periods they can start to peel & crack in certain spots which can be painful. So, although it is not eczema, I decided to that we should try some various eczema creams & see how it turns out. With regular lotion it helps a little but doesn't always seem to help, depending on the lotion type which is why I thought a cream may be better. I was lucky enough to be sent two products from Eczema Honey Co to test out with my daughter for a review & see if it helps her hands.
At the moment her hands are only slightly dry, so it is currently more of a preventative measure to keep them from getting to their cracked stage as we are slowly headed into cooler weather here in Arizona. We were sent the Oatmeal hand cream & the Original Skin soothing cream. Their products are dermatologist tested and leaping bunny approved.
The Original hand cream comes in a 4oz jar that sells for $29.95 a jar, it comes in two version one with almond oil and a nut free version. My daughter does not have a nut allergy, so we received the version which has almond oil in it, along with other natural ingredients like olive oil, honey, sunflower oil & more. This cream has a thick almost peanut butter like consistency. Smells wise, it is hard to describe it almost has a waxy smell to it. It isn't a gross smell but it also isn't the most pleasant smell in the world if that makes sense, it isn't strong enough to smell after application unless you have the area you applied it to right under your nose. The formula might be thick, however when you apply the cream it smooths out nicely & absorbs quickly while leaving your hands feeling refreshed, soothed & it creates a barrier to help keep the moisture in.
The oatmeal hand cream also comes in a 4oz tube that sells for $24.95. I personally like this cream the best out of the two choices, there is almost no scent to it. This says it is for hands, however you can use it on other areas as well if you are having any issue spots. The cream is about the same consistency as lotion, it absorbs quickly and gives instant relief. After just a few uses you will start to notice a significant improvement.
She has been alternating using both creams, she uses only a little bit each day as that is all you need with these creams. So far it seems to be doing a wonderful job & the little bit of dryness she did have is almost gone which means good news for this winter & combating painful skin. These products are fantastic for full blown cases of eczema & great for regular skincare issues like dryness as well. Along with the two products I've shown here, they offer a number of other products as well such as body wash. If you suffer from eczema or dry irritated skin you should check out what they have to offer.
