Udder Cream?
carini
I have extremely dry skin, especially in the winter. I have heard
people mention how wonderful udder cream is. Where does one find it?
Does it smell funny? (Funny question, I know...but anything related to
cows....) Does it really work?
Thanks,
Patti

Hi!
Herrschners carries it for $4.95 a jar. I haven't used it myself, but a friend
does and yes, it does work for her! www.herrschners.com

Udder cream really is wonderful. It does not smell like a cow and you can buy
small amts. at fabric stores and even my Wal-Mart has it.
Be sure to only use a small amt at a time and really rub in.
Supposedly it won't stain fabric but i won't use it for a while before I stitch
just in case.
Happy Stitching

cows' udders soft as their skin gets hard with milking
(especially from machines). I guess that makes sense :-)

office. I guarantee you will love it. I get mine at Walmart. The first
time I bought it was at my LNS ... where the cost was high. At Walmart a 4
oz tube (large) is only around $1.89.

I got mine at my LNS. No, it doesn't smell funny. It hardly smells at all. Yes,
it really does work. And it disappears into the skin quickly, too. Use just a
little.
It's not supposed to have any effect on the fabric or the threads but I still
wash my hands well before I stitch. Mainly use Udder Cream at night, and that
seems to be enough, usually.

I buy the real stuff at the local farmer's co-op. I pay about $4 for a
small tub and it is so thick it lasts forever. I haven't used the brand
Udder Cream that you find at Walmart and LNS's, but the idea is the same,
lots of rich lanolin in the product.

skin. WalMart carries it and you can also get it at your farm
supply store or co-op. When I purchased a jar at the co-op I
was told that our local hospital buys it by the case for the nurses
and doctors in surgical areas to use. Don't know if this is true
or not.
A friend of mine bought some and had it in her kitchen. One day
her son-in-law saw it, read the label (which talks about applying
it to chapped teats), and totally embarrassed my friend by asking
her if she was having a problem! She doesn't keep it in the
kitchen anymore!

I got mine here in Memphis, TN at Target for a really affordable
price. The Udder Cream page actually suggests lots of places to get
the stuff.
It doesn't have a strange smell at all. I'm one of those people that
can get a vicious headache just walking through the perfume section in
a dept store. This has a nice light fragrance that doesn't bother me.

Actually, it smells kinda nice. I wonder who the manufacturer scents it for -
the farmer or the cow?

here about Udder Cream. Wish I had heard of it long before now. Finally my
Winter Hands aren't' bleeding and chapped! They are actually soft. I can't
believe how great this cream is! And it seemed to have worked overnight. This
is truly a miracle in my book! Once again I learned something new and valuable
by reading this group.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
p.s. I got it at K-Mart!

anywhere. I usually get mine at walmart since that is where I have found it
the cheapest.

his thumbs especially would crack and he'd have deep bleeding cracks across the
tops of all this fingers. One year my son gave him a small jar of Udder Cream
and that winter he never had a problem. He used it every year after that. It
is great and really works well. I love it.

Absolutely, postively. I tried for *years* to get DH to try it for his
cracking, chapped hands during the winter. Finally, when it started getting
cold this year, he started using it. He's depleted what's left of my small 2
oz jar (expensive, purchased at LNS for $2.50), and asked me to order more. My
10 oz jar ($4.95 from Herrschner's) got here Friday. You've never seen a
bigger smile than when I handed him that jar.
Even with below freezing temps for the last 2 weeks and *lots and lots* of
shoveling out in the cold (over 2 feet of snow here!), his hands haven't
cracked or split at all!

I used to work for a residential constrction company & keep my tub on my
desk. Needless to say, that didn't last very long. You can imagine the
questions I got!! :)
At my local Wal-Mart they have the tubes & tubs, even sell nifty pumps for
it! Bag Balm works nicely too, it is the same principle. I am not sure,
but I think it is a little more heavy & might come off on fabrics. But I'd
think it would be great to put on at night. If you can stand it, a pair of
cotten gloves, or even socks, on your hands while you are sleeping does
wonders! Just lather your hands good with some lotion, & slip them on. You
will be amazed how quickly it can repair dry hands!

I found that Udder Cream soaks in so much better than Bag Balm. And Bag Balm
is almost like an ointment and smells. I use Udder Cream during the day
and Eucerin creme at night. I think my Mom said that Bag Balm worked
better than Udder Cream on her cows.
When my feet get cracked, I put on a dab of hydrocortisone cream, a dab
of Eucerin creme, and cover with a bandage (and usually a sock over that).
My foot is better in the morning. That works pretty well on cracked places
on my hands too (no sock :-) ).

If you really suffer from dry skin, particularly in the winter try this
tip that I picked up from some really awful 1960's beauty mag (probably
Cosmo). WARNING: Do not do this unless you plan to wash sheets the next
morning and give notice to any SO's who share bedroom or viewing rights.
You need a long flannel nightgown or pjs, white socks, cotton gloves and
a plastic shower cap or one of those heavy cloth hairnets that women
slept in the old days, vasline, bag balm or any other heavy moisturizing
cream and a heavy clream hair conditioner. If your hair and scalp is
really dry and/or you use coloring (as my grandmother used to say, of
course my hair naturally this color, when I put the dye on that is the
way it turns, naturally) buy one of the tubs of hair conditioner
marketed for Afro Americans- ask a friend for a recommendation for a
local brand that people with brittle hair like, if you can.
Take a warm shower and don't dry yourself off, just shake off the excess
moisture. Coat your entire body with vasiline or your lotion of choice,
coat your hair with hair conditioner, cover yourself up and sleep like
that overnight. Shower again in the morning. You'll feel like you have
new skin. Besides, it feels sort of decadent ;-)

The Dubelkos
beauty supply place (I notice places like The Body Shop and Garden Botanika
have them now.) It will really help keep that moisture in.
If you have really severe dry skin, caused by eczema or psoriasis try this
hint that a friend gave to me: "Evening Primrose Oil on your hand. Buy some
of the
capsule - the sort you would normally swallow - they are in a gelatin
case. Pierce one with a pin and squeeze the contents on your eczema." It is
supposed to soothe the skin and help the itching.

it was all those almonds , since i tried twice in winter to mold some
marzipan , my hands got better , and it tasted quite well,,,,,, mirjam
Nancy
Since I don't really like to eat marzipan, maybe this is a good way to
use it up! My DBF's nan puts this on the fruit cake that she makes.
Now I just have to find a use for the cake part.
