Burt’s Hand Salve - Saving Chapped Winter Hands

Terri Ann — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:31:36 +0000

I purchased a Burt’s Bees gift package for myself a while back to give a try to a few of their products - samples are a great way to try new things. In the middle of the winter my hands dry up on me and no matter what or how much lotion I use I can’t seem to stop it.

That is until I tried Burt’s Hand Salve! I’ve never been a big fan of tin containers of balm or lotion because of the mes they make but not any more. This fantastic salve helped heal my dried and chapped hands. In the New England winter it’s hard to keep your hands in tip top shape but this salve is great - I leave it on my desk at work; put it on once in the morning and once before I leave and I’m usually good to go for the day. Yes, even in my dry forced hot air heated house.

Burt’s Bees Hand Salve get’s the Green Recommended seal of approval! It saved my chapped New England winter hands in a day!
