Cows udder lotion

[wendy]

as long as you can afford it, it maybe worth a try. But if you cannot afford for it to fail. You know the tried and tested creams for hands.
I did hear a long time ago. The best thing for soft hands is to smother in vasilene of a night time and put on cotton gloves and sleep in them. During the night the skin absorbs the vasilene.

Back to the 'dog oil', yes it's real, we used to stock it in a health food shop I worked in.

Will be checking my local farm suppier for the udder cream. That heal balm stuff you can buy also contains urea.

Even I felt too stupid to ask the most obvious question here so I followed the link and am quite relieved to find that there are no animals used in the manufacturing process!!!

[Chicken on the Hill]

Ha ha, I don't know if it was used maybe for working dogs, but definitely doesn't contain them!

Refrence to the urea in one of the products...apparently victorian ladies used to pee on tyheir hands if they became dry and chapped! havn't tried it myself..perhaps I will....

When my Dad was a filleter on the docks, they used to pee on their hands,too.

Well, the hand problem isn't getting any better inspite of all my efforts, so I'm trying the cows udder cream. It does feel nice and soft and not that greasy, so perhaps it'll work after all!

fingers crossed

[echelon]

Er, um, nice, soft fingers crossed

[Ronnie]

Well echelon did the cream work?

[sharon the chauffeur]

its not only for cows(mooo) i use herbamedicus its herbal skin care aloevera balsem on my face , hands, its produced for prodimex and made in the eu, my tub was 1 euro that was for 250 ml, stops the skin from cracking and also good for very cold trips out to the shops, acts as a brilliant deterent against the minus tempratures too

[echelon]

Yes it has worked!!!!!!!!!

My hands are still on the dry side, but they're not sore anymore!!!!!!!! As long as I continue to use it and wear the rubber gloves for washing up I'll be fine!!!

I can certainly recommend this stuff

[Citrine]

Are you using the 'normal' udder cream? There are now lots of varients of it - the Chamois cream is thicker, and better for badly cracked skin. Its also good for nappy rash.

[echelon]

I dunno Citrine, it just comes in a yellow tub with Cows Udder Cream written on it. I've been putting it on my neck and face too It does leave everything nice and soft!

How are you?
