Vermont's Original for Cracked Hands, Dry Skin - Moisturizing Lotion Salve 8 Ounce - 2 Pack

I consider this an essential part of my skin care. I use it on my hands and feet before bed. Keeps my feet from developing callouses. But I've also used it on my legs or neck area. Great moisturizer.

The funny thing was that when I got it, I thought I bought the wrong thing and that this was for animals. But I gave it a try anyways. I've always had bad skin, and was constantly breaking out with something... it got especially bad during the winter. I thought I just had to live with this forever. Some people are just born with strong skin and mine is probably weak. Long story short, it sounds silly but I used ChatGPT to help me get to the bottom of why my skin was always doing what it does. One of the recommendations was to use Bag Balm as a way to seal in moisture, along with some other things to treat the inflammation. So I've been using Bag Balm everyday after my morning shower, just a quick thin layer all over. I thought I was gonna smell like the scent but you can't really smell it. It goes on quite nice too, even if you get it on thick it doesn't feel like you have bacon grease on you. It feels surprisingly light for something that looks like Vaseline. After about a month or so, the changes were pretty amazing. Using this as a way to maintain my skin barrier helped treat all the other things too, like the rashes on my sides and arms. This was the first winter where I didn't have to deal with my skin problems. All the dark spots and scarring is also slowly fading, which is very nice to see. Overall this balm is part of a larger regiment I am doing, but it plays a big part in it.

While it does have a little strange smell it is so worth it. My husband loves to work out in the yard and his hands take a beating. I have what I call winter hands that get so red raw and chapped. Bag balm works miracles on them. It protects and hydrates. Your hands feel so much better right after you put it on and heal quickly.

Fabulous for minor cuts, rashes, psoriasis, dry cracked skin, chapped lips, diaper rash, etc..Can use on humans, dogs, cats ,horses, birds...the original, the BEST !!!! Used in hospitals and nursing homes

At first, I was taken back by the smell, but I used it in my feet and then in the morning I was surprised how amazing my feet felt, so velvety and soft. So I kept using it, and got used to the smell. Now, k don’t notice it as much. I put this stuff all over my body. I did some research and the lanolin actually comes from sheep’s wool which explains the smell. lol.
