wrote: I use Eucerin every day for dry skin, and if i let it soak in for about 10 minutes, it will no longer have an "oily" feeling. It does not stain, has no odor or dyes. Is one that is recommended by most doctors and dermatologists. It does have some lanolin by products, but i've had no problems with that, and i'm allergic to lanolin. (main reason i don't use Bag Balm anymore, though i used to love the stuff). It's a little on the pricey side, but a little goes a very long way. I use mine twice a day, and an 8 ounce bottle has lasted over a year. This sounds like E45, which we have in the UK, and I should invest in the company, I like the product so much. I have eczema, so can't tolerate lanolin products either. I was amazed when a friend pointed out that lanolin is actually on the ingredients list, if about 15 items down. It must be by-products, as you mentioned in the product you use. I use E45 cream on my hands and neck and such because they get dried out in the supermarket (I used to use the lotion, but it now seems runny, after they came out with the cream recently). I used to use E45 on my face as a moisturizer, but now I use Simple because it feels lighter and not as oily (this feeling only lasts on the hands until it sinks in, as well). In the winter, when my skin gets so dry on my hands that it cracks near the nails and bleeds, I use 50% solid parafin/50% liquid paraffin that has been mixed together. It is fantastic! I put that on right before bed, because it feels greasy, and in the morning my hands are much better. I bought a tub of this for £3 and have used it for several winters now, with loads left to spare. I highly recommend this! -- Jo in Scotland |

Yes, you can use it on your heels, makes your feet really nice. It's
basically some nice oils, sugar, and something or other to keep the sugar from melting. I just love this stuff. I didn't know anything about it until last week. Now I won't be without one in the winter! hmm..... or in gardening season either, for that matter! Karen, Queen of Squishies |

I found it at Bath & Body Works. We have one near us. I'm sure you can
find them other places, but I don't know if Bath & Body you can order online or not. http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/discover.jsp This one is ginger, mine is grapefruit. Karen, Queen of Squishies |

You can make it, very cheaply. Google on "sugar scrub" and you'll get lots of hits.
I love making mine with vanilla and olive oil. -- Jalynne - Keeper of the Quilt for ME club list Queen Gypsy (snail mail available upon request) see what i've been up to at www.100megsfree4.com/jalynne "Queen of Squishies" hicall80 @ earthlink.net wrote in message ink.net...

How do you keep the sugar from melting? Or is it just that the oil does not
dissolve the sugar? Karen, Queen of Squishies |

The ones I usually buy are made with cane sugar. This is a brown, sort of
coarse and granular sugar. It dissolves in water, not the oil base. This means it washes off completely. I have also bought one that looks like it was made with white table sugar. I have refilled the others with brown cane sugar I bought at the store (baking section) to use up the remaining oil and it was fine, haven't tried it yet with the white sugar but I don't see why that wouldn't work as well. I don't see why you can't make your own either... http://www.thesoapgoat.com/nrecipes7.html http://www.soapdelicatessen.com/soap...s/salts/sugar/ Sea salt scrubs are also quite popular here for hands, elbows and feet. I think it's pretty much the same. Have fun!

I just sidle up to the sink with the sugar bowl, and my favorite scented
oils..pour a tablespoon of oil into my hands, then add a tablespoon of sugar, and scrub like crazy... rinse with warm water, dry gently and use your favorite scented lotion as a chaser... mmmmmm....think I'll go partake of that delight right now!!

We have one of those hot parafin baths and it is great on hands! I got
ours at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It plugs in and melts the wax. Then you dip your hands in several times and slip them into plastic bags and then terry cloth mitts. I do lotion first, then the wax then you hang out until everything cools down. Wonderful. I love that Norwegian Hand Cream - it's really thick stuff. You just use a tiny bit and it soaks in. I use it while I sew as it doesn't stain the fabrics. It may take a nice manicure or two to get your hands in shape and then you will be able to more easily keep them up with a good quality lotion at home. marcella |
