I'm not a huge fan of gloves or mittens

But the weather here is cold and if you spend enough time outdoors without keeping your hands warm, you'll end up with your skin cracking/splitting in areas -it happens to me every winter 

But here is an excellent product to heal any small skin cracks on your hands (including hangnails or even paper cuts). It's 3M Nexcare's Skin Crack Care 

I bought mine at Pharma Plus for $12 on sale.

The packaging says it is fine to also use it on elbows, knees and feet:






And the applicator is easy - it's in a nail polish-like bottle



I have nothing bad to say about this product at all! 

What I like about it:
-it does not sting what-so-ever
-very effective. Without it some of the small skin cracks in my knuckles/fingers would take over a week to heal. Applying this once or even twice a day, my skin completely heals in 2-3 days :)
-one coat is all you need
-it dries in a minute. Literally
-apparently it's waterproof. I only apply this before bedtime so I can't say if it really is.
-a little goes a long way. I'm pretty sure you won't even finish one bottle in the whole of winter
-smell doesn't bother me. It smells lightly of tea tree oil (one of the ingredients)






Have you heard of or tried this Nexcare product before?

Do you have any favourite hand care products?

How is your weekend coming along so far? Any plans?
Aaand, who's watching the Men's Hockey Olympic gold medal game on Sunday Feb 28th (start time 12:15 pm PST)?

GO CANADA!!! Oh I'll be a pub - hopefully drinking to celebrate instead of drinking to forget LOL.
