Aquaphor Healing Ointment
For whatever reason, this winter has been an absolute disaster on my hands; they have tried to maintain a level of dryness and cracked-ness that has left me in a miserable state. No amount of traditional lotions put a dent in the problem, and I was simply unwilling to put something so heavy on that I felt like my hands had a constant coat of lard on them.
Based on a friends recommendation I decided to give Aquaphor a try. Now this isn’t my first rodeo when it comes to Aquaphor; it has forever been my go-to elixir whenever I nursed a healing a tattoo. Well as great as it has been to help pamper me through my hard-living, ink-getting lifestyle, this stuff has re-proven its value a real life-saver for my hands.
While my hands still quickly take a turn for the worse if I go for much more than a day without a slathering or two, this stuff has now become a staple in this house.
What I like:
- not too greasy
- a little goes a long way
- absorbs quickly
What I don’t:
- I do still have to be careful about what I touch for an hour or so after application, or a I leave some residue behind
- pertaining to the 1.75oz bottle, the product is difficult to get out in a controllable way when the bottle is approaching emptiness
Bottom Line:
My house won’t be without this product from here on out.
