Hello ladies,
I was wondering if any of you can give me any suggestions on a really great moisturizer/lotion for my mom. She is going through her second bought with bresat cancer(thankfully it's a thousand times less invasive and painful this time around!) She has to take Zoloda(spelling?) for another two months and it gives her rashes and the driest skin you wouldn't believe. It is so hard to see her so miserable. If it were me, I know she would do everything she could to make me feel better! All suggestions are greatly appreciated!
xoxo,
Valerie |

Skinny Dip Candles. It is a solid moisturizer that you use as is or light the wick an use warm. Last on the skin for hours but is not greasy. Excellant on my hands when I have been doing yard work or sewing alot and my hands get rough and dry. Lots of scents to choose from and unscented as well. www.skinnydipcandle.com
Hugs, Kathy |

Valerie I should have added that they might seem expensive but a little goes a loooong way with these. I hope that you try them.
Hugs, Kathy |

| Bonjour gals! I have to sing the praises of regular old bag balm that comes in the green tin....when it sinks in there is no greasy residue either. Love it! Also taking vitamin E capsules helps work from the inside out. Hugs to all, Nance |

Valerie- Send me an address and I will send a free 3 ounce sample of my body balm. It is an intensive moisturizer that really helps. It's gentle (I have used it on my baby since the day she was born) and effective.

There's a slave we order from Procycling.com. All it is, is shay butter and real lavender oil. It comes in a tin and is sold for 20.00. There's a lot in it for the $$.
Best smelling and hardest working hand salve I have ever tried.

correction:
that's worldcycling.com
The salve is called Sportique. It's 19.95
And really, all it is is shay butter and lavender oil. I think the tin is either 5 or 6 oz. Quite a bit, so worth the cash.
Doesn't get any simpler than that
Hope mom heals fast! Glad she has made it this far |

I use skin so soft oil when I get out of the shower, however your mom may be better off skipping a bath/shower every other day and only use soap on you private areas and feet. I hope all gets better soon.
Have a nice day. |
