Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hi Everyone, My question today is for those that work with their hands a lot. Since I received my dremel and other woodworking tools and started on my stained glass projects, my fingertips are getting rough, not broken open or anything like that just rough. How do all of you keep your fingertips, first knuckle and up to stay soft? Wearing gloves works great with the woodworking but not with the glass as I must be able to feel the edges of the glass to ensure they are nice an smooth after grinding. I would like to keep them soft for when I give Paul a massage. Rough fingertips are the pits. How do I know? His are rough! LOL TIA, Cheryl ===== Cheryl Smith A Heavenly Body Anchorage AK 99508 (907) 222-0886 http://www.aheavenlybody.com Search - Find what you’re looking for faster http://search.

Hmmm, I play bass, so for me it is an advantage to have those calloused finger tips > > I would like to keep them soft for when I give > Paul a massage.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Oooo Ooooo... Arizona Balm.. That is the stuff. We must have got it right because we get lots of repeat business. http://Luna-Aromatics.com/productinfo4.html Lynda developed it because she got bad cracked heels in the summer. And complained when I wouldn't rub her feet.. ( And she WASN " T having that!) I refined the recipe so that it was smoother. Not counting wholesale I suppose we sell around 20 a week just at the farmers markets.

It seems to go into the skin. I find that most commercial creams or lotions " moisturise " by staying on the skin and not allowing the moisture to leave the skin. ) As an aside... There is much hype about glycerine soaps being more moisturising.. BUT here in Arizona they can be actually drying.. As I understand it. Glycerine takes moisture from the air and makes it available for the skin However whereever the humidity is below about 25% it is more likely to take the moisture from your skin and give it out to the air.. Worth thinking about in the parts of the world where the humidity is low..

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 It's not easy to keep nice hands and be a real woman. I'm a wood carver, do some lathe work, paint with oils, garden and, well, you get the picture. My favorite hand cream is Cetaphil by Galderma. www.cataphil.com Good stuff. My alternate is Tamanu Oil, which absorbs fully and leaves my hands like silk. It also quickly heals the little nicks and scrapes quickly. I get it at the health food store. It's a bit pricey - but we're worth it. Oh - and it's an excellent massage oil. Dorey Search - Find what you’re looking for faster http://search.
