Think about handcream, I think about love❤️. Thoughtfulness. Caring people.
You see, ever since I spent 4 months at hospital, I had my skin's outer later jeapordised. Being encouraged by doctors and nurses to wash hands daily everytime you walked out and entered the ward, I literally washed my hands too clean till the layer which helped to ensure skin's moist was washed off. Gone. But it was for Jansen's sake, not to have any germs in the ward as his delicate right lung was growing. As a result, I had really dry-looking fingers and palm. I was sad for awhile but had forbeared the ugly sight of my hands. Gradually, it became ezcema-prone as well. With the outer layer gone, your skin became sensitive to detergent and fragrant, so any over washing or cleaning day would cause itchiness and even cracking skin which sometimes bleed.
My family members and friends were thoughtful and caring. Throughout the years, I had received countless hand creams from them, either for birthdays, or Mother's Day, or Christmas. Unfortunately, I could not use most of them as they caused some allergy itchiness ezcema outbreak.
I still have some of them with me. In fact, quite alot. I will show you now and you will be surprised. These was since last Christmas till today. I had given away alot too to others which they asked me not to give this year as they are still using the ones I gave them.
My collection of handcreams and lotions
When my hands are better now, I will try my luck to use, it will last for one day, then the next day ezcema outbreak again. The best among all the above is the non-fragrant Horse Oil but it is really oily and smelly, as in the real oil smell. And it is really inconvenient to use if I am consistently on the run between cleaning and cooking and other housechores.
I let it be for now, continue to try when I feel like it, or just let it be I have a functioning pair of hands.
Maybe you have natural solution for me?
