Guide Review - Dry Skin Relief

If you have done needle work for very long, you are probably like me, and suffer miserably this time of the year with dry, painful skin. Those yarns and fibers just have a way of sucking every ounce of moisture from a stitcher's skin.

I was fortunate to find a little tin of Badger's Hand Balm in a local store. Nicely priced and packaged, it is thick like petroleum jelly and just the remedy for treating dry and cracked skin.

Badger Balm is sold in a small tin that is just perfect for dispensing this product. It's easy to use "just the right amount".

Though it does tend to have a fairly strong scent, the birch tree extract is a clean, fresh scent that is in no way bothersome to my family.

Made from all natural ingredients, Badger balms are healing aid to hurting hands. We've also used it effectively in my home to treat winter ezcema.

I would highly recommend this product. In fact, I don't think that there is anything like it anywhere.
