Burt's Bees Hand Salve, Hand Moisturiser For Very Dry Hands, Beeswax, 100% Natural Origin, 85g

My first review was not accepted because I wrrote about hard and soft. Gee whizz.In short, this is perfect for hands that have done too much climing, gardening. also working an absolute treat on my eczema.Good size, will last ages.sinks in good. Is absolutely 100% what I need

I bought this when it was reduced to £5 and it was a bargain! I originally bought it for me but ended up using it first to mix with a steroid cream for my baby and it did the job!When I finally got to use it for me, it moisturises but doesn't leave it feeling greasy for too long after. Nice smell, not overpowering at all.I know it says hands but I've used it on my lips too after being out in this cold weather too long.Not sure if worth it for £11. 99 but less than that is a good deal.

When I first started stretching my ears I started using coconut oil to moisturise my lobes every day. Although the coconut oil works beautifully, the scent and anti-inflammatory properties of the ingredients of this hand salve have made the process thus far brilliant. I do alternate between this and the coconut oil for my lobes, but found that this is particularly helpful immediately after stretching.As a hand salve, which this product actually is (although it is amazing for my ears!), I have found it has helped protect and toughen my skin. I work in a factory environment and despite wearing gloves my hands have developed blisters. The hand salve has helped soften the blisters and helped the skin beneath them heal and toughen quickly.To add to what may be the best hand cream I've ever used, as far as I'm aware the ingredients are predominantly - if not completely - natural. This is particularly reassuring for me as I have been using this salve on damaged skin and I would hate to think that I've been putting any unpleasant chemicals into my body.Fantastic product, smells amazing, works quickly! Have recommended to many friends and I carry it with me everywhere!Edit: If it was possible to push this up to six stars, I would.So recently I have stretched my ears to (a rather unassuming) 10mm. The stretch went fine, no issues there and it was painless; no tears, no blood or pus - great. The issue came a few days later when I notice the skin on the back of my ear had gone strange (something called a blow out - Google it!)I diligently did salt water soaks and massaged with this as much as I could to encourage the skin on my ears to not be blown out! I did everything but downsize - though I did leave my plugs out for an hour or so on a morning.We are now about three weeks after I first noticed the blow out and my ear feels so much healthier! The blow out has shrank and is now unnoticeable to others even without plugs in. I can still feel it but I guess I’m more aware of it. I’m keeping up with regular breathing time, massaging my lobes and letting the salve soak into my plugs before putting them back in my ears and this all seems to be working!(I just thought I’d add that in, for others who may be using this to stretch their ears.)

It’s okay and I like the smell (lavender)

This is absolutely amazing stuff. I have been tormented for years every winter with extremely sore, itchy, cracked and inflamed skin on the back of both hands. I have tried all sorts of hand creams and changed soaps from liquid to solid and then to solid soap for sensitive skin. I have quite literally tried everything... but within days of using this my hands were completely repaired and the skin is back to being lovely and smooth and soft. I am, I fear, perhaps a little addicted to the wonderful smell too - a gorgeous blend of eucalyptus and lavender - and find myself applying it probably more often than actually necessary. The texture of the balm itself is quite hard but it melts easily and spreads beautifully. I am thoroughly enjoying massaging it into my hands at every opportunity and although initially it feels very oily, it is absorbed completely within a minute or so and does not leave any residue at all. I honestly cannot praise this product highly enough as it has completely healed my hands.

I have terribly dry skin - feet and hands especially. Learnt about bees wax as an excellent salve from an episode in Elementary. So, investigating, Burt's was recommended as the best. And now having used it for a while I can whole heartedly agree. Does the job and has a pleasant feeling and fragrance, with no "oilly" residue. Fabulous. If Sherlock Holmes says surgeons use this.. you can trust it. Thanks

I have purchased this product over the years. I continue to buy it for its germ busting properties. Even though these aren't advertised as such - it's a well known fact that eucalyptus and rosemary are good in combating germs! I used to use this regularly on my hands before cleaning.It is sticky but rubs in well although it will leave a residual feeling to the surface of your hands - this personally doesn't bother me as I am using it more for a protective barrier to my skin.The smell is quite strong but pleasant - although this will be down to personal preference. It is a natural smell not artificially overpowering.I personally am very sensitive to artificial ingredients and fragrances and I get along really well with this particular product.It comes in a handy tin which I do find a little awkward to get the lid of - I tend to use my nails to seperate the lid from the container itself.

Does what it's ment to do.
