Here’s a great little tip for mommies on the go.  My hands are always dry now.  With winter wind, all my bodies water going toward milk production, and constantly using baby wipes on just about everything these days, my hands are more dry than normal.  If you’re out and about, and realize you didn’t pack lotion, I found a great solution is to wash your hands!  The soap in public restrooms usually have moisturizers in them.  I’ll wash my hands and I’ll be good for at least an hour or two, maybe more depending on how dry my hands are that day.  Really useful for when you’re on the go and don’t have time, or resources, to pick up some lotion or stop back home.

Back in my b5media days, I wrote a post over on Mother Earths Garden about a really great lotion for extreme dry skin, Skin MD.  You have to keep applying it the first day every couple of hours, then as needed after that.  Really great stuff.  It sold over the counter at some drugstores like CVS in their pharmacy department.  You can also order it online.
