Ohio winters crack my hands. Sounds painful, and it is. To boot my skin is uber sensitive to just about everything (from lotions to types of fabric blends in socks...weird, huh?). Lotions for sensitive skins usually induce horrid winces of agony on my flesh...so I would rather have the cracks ache. Until today. I was out on a quick errand to grab The Illustrated Life by Danny Gregory ( an inspiring journaling man) when my poor hands had had enough. I knew the book store sold lotions and I braved the frilly section by the checkouts to seek something for relief....even if it would sting like crazy. What I discovered was Burt's Bees Beeswax Hand Cream. I was doing the I am in pain dance while I waited in the afternoon holiday lines at the checkout. And once I forked over the money...I opened the jar to find a bit a Bee Heaven. OH! It is the best stuff ever! It soothed and conditioned my poor chapped hands. AND it smells like bananas (a scent that I typically believe should be left in bread and ice cream pops). But in this little jar and on my hands the aroma was quite pleasing and calming. Oh, how I love my little honey bees....pray it may be fiction that they are in troubleWednesday, December 10, 2008

I've heard about this product, but I've never tried it. Have to admit it's a little off-putting that it smells like bananas ... sorry. :-)
The honey bee situation is indeed worrying. Come to think of it, I need to read a book about that ...
For me the banana smell is a bit much too...but luckily the smell does not linger long... :)
hi, how are you??
i am going to try this , my son has the skin very dry when the winter started, i tried all kind of creams and lotion and i could not find something good for his dry skin... he will be happy with the banana smell !!! lol
