Hi Everyone:
Marsha mentioned her sensitivity to lanolin in hand creams, which I have
experienced also. I thought those of you with skin dryness would like to hear
about a new cream I've been using for a month with great success! It's a
prescription cream I got through my dermatologist called Lac-Hydrin. The
active ingredient is Ammonium Lactate and I've gone through 2 throwing and
glazing cycles without any excema: a miracle, especially in winter. You only
use it twice a day, so I use another cream in between.

It should be noted at the onset that I have no financial interest in the
product I am about to recommend. I simply have used it to protect hands
from getting cracked and chafed. The product is called Kerodex and
comes in two varieties, one for wet work and another for dry work.
Kerodex is a non greasy barrier for either liqiuds or dry chemicals. It
comes in a tube and can be gotten from any pharmacy. IT WORKS!

As y'all may have noticed from my sig line, I make soaps and other
handmade toiletries in addition to pots. This includes hand cream, for
which I have had rave reviews. If the person who started this thread
will email me, I'll send you a sample.
Thanks.

Kerodex is great!! My husband suffered from eczema and was told by a
dermatologist that his potting years were numbered because of the severity
of his case and the way it was aggravated by clay. That was almost 20
years ago!! He uses it faithfully and follows up with bee balm when
finished for the day. I rarely hear him complain about his hands beyond
the usual winter dry skin problems that many of us have in Wisconsin.

Hi All,
Just an aside about skin care: I've always had problems with excema
especially in winter. Lately i've been washing my hands frequently with
antibacterial soap. I've even put some into my hand rinsing bucket that I
keep by my wheel. I've experienced a vast improvement in my skin problems!
I think the Clayart thread about critters in the clay water is very
interesting. I used to think my excema came from dry skin, but now I think
it's an allergic reaction to the critters. My excema used to flair up after
a glazing cycle. And I'm thinking of those buckets of glaze just sitting
around growing stuff......Hummmm. I don't really like the idea of putting
clorox in the buckets, as someone suggested, but this soap seems to be
doing the trick.
FWIW
Jennifer loading the LAST glaze firing of the season. PHEW.

Dear Sally,
I just read your message and have a question NOT related to
cereamics....my little son suffers terribly from dry cracked skin around
the mouth in cold, dry weather, and I was wondering if this cream is
also recommended for that remedy too?? Do you know? If it sounds good, I
can ask my sister to send me some.
Thanks! I can only find really 'good' cream here that has cortizone in
it, therefore I don't buy it!!!

Hello Lisa.
I saved a message from you from a while back about hand creams. It is kind of
interesting. I am just about to start what you are doing, combining pottery wit
hand made skin care products - old fashioned herbals recipes. Of course, I don'
know where you are from but I doubt we will be competition for one another. I
thought I would write you and see if you have any words of widsom to pass along.
you always combine your two businesses, or where you one business first. Do you
market your products in your own pottery? How does the public respond to potter
toiletries together?
Oh now I have found your web page and I have to start all over. You are in Nort
Carolina and you do market your products in your pottery. Wonderful web page, b
way! Do you make mostly soaps? You mentioned bath salts on the web page. And h
cream obviously *grin*. I haven't made soap yet, but I do have a great lip balm
wonderful bath salts. In the middle of winter usually my skin is so dry, but th
winter I've had no problems thanks to my own recipes. I'm still very much in th
beginning stages of this, so anything you might wish to share with me would be m
appreciated.
Kind regards,
Deborah
p.s. I'm in Newfoundland

I was a potter first. If you read the FAQ information on my web page you
can see the story of how I got into soaps.
>>Do you>market your products in your own pottery?
Yes. I make shave mugs for the soap, soap dishes, lotion bottles, etc.
>> How does the public respond to potter>toiletries together?
Very well; they really compliment each other.
You can join a soapmaking listserve. Send email to Rainbow@sojourn.com

My dermatologist told me that (in his opinion) the best
commercial hand cream is Cetaphil Therapeutic Hand
Cream with Shea Butter. I like it.

Mel, you are right about the olive oil.
This old remedy takes away the roughness and makes the hands soft and
smooth immediately...you can then safely touch fine fabrics without
"pulling" them.
Stand over the sink...
Cup your hands, pour in a little olive oil, then a little sugar...rub,
rinse, dry. Ahhh, much better!

I have always wondered if kidskin gloves would work for
throwing? A little like a shammie you wore on your entire hands.

Whatever you use, make sure it doesn't contain sodium lauryl sulfate. This
is a de greaser and foamer in most soaps and is also in some hand creams.
Since I stopped using shampoo and body soaps that contained it (and changed
my lotion!), I've had a lot less problem with my fingers cracking. But when
I do get them, I super glue the crack, then cover it with foam bandage
tape, pulling the edges together, then leave the tape on for a few days.
