Sort Those Heels!

Advantages: Works really well
Disadvantages: You need to build up a routine, so you might need to put aside time.

...time that I first bought Scholl Cracked Heel Repair Cream, I was due to set off to a festival in a few days and had been experiencing pain whilst walking due to the cracks in my heels. They just weren't going away, which is what usually happens during a summer of wearing flip flops and not paying attention to my feet. Luckily my fiancé marched me down to a local Scholl store, to seek out some professional help. Whilst in the store I had a consultation ...
...skin and then applying the Scholl Cracked Heel Repair Cream twice a day. Yes, it is irritating not to have an immediate solution, but the nature of the problem is simply one that cannot be fixed overnight. Cracks in heels reopen, become painful and bleed once you start walking again, so treating the problem will take time. It's really important to make sure you wash your feet before applying the cream, as you want to make sure that you're not going ...

Review of Scholl Cracked Heel Repair Cream

Aloe Vera Gel: Excellent purchase.

Advantages: Smoothes, moisturises, cheap, clean feeling.
Disadvantages: Possible interactions with skin.

...it claim to do? Organic Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel. A clear gel in a large tube. It is for external use, for application to irritated skin. I also use it to protect my skin after bathing, and as a moisturiser. Application I have various stretch marks on my chest due to growth spurts in puberty, and a few scars that I have acquired over the years over my body. I hoped that this gel would be able to soften, moisturise and generally provide ...
...Reading up on aloe vera, I found out that the highest % pure aloe vera that you can get is the best for doing the job it claims to. I settled on this product because it seemed to be the most natural one on offer, with a high percentage of the magical Aloe Barbadensis. I love this product. Applying to skin it starts to dry quickly. This temporarily produces a tightening feeling on your skin but when it's settled in, the smoothness is astounding. I ...

Review of Aloe Pura Organic Aloe Vera Gel

Reassurance in a cream

Advantages: antiseptic, treats a variety of skin probs
Disadvantages: strong smell, not easily absorbed

I'm sure a tube of savlon lurks in most first aid boxes, the smell certainly reminds me of the cuts and scrapes of my childhood, where this was a staple in my mum's box. Savlon is an antiseptic cream that comes in a foil/metal tube (like a toothpaste). It soothes and prevents infection whilst encouraging the natural skin healing process. It can be used on cuts and grazes as well as minor burns, blisters and sores and sunburn. It is also great for ...
...used on spots, shaving cuts and nappy rash - although these are things that I have not used it for. When I was younger, I frequently had it applied to cuts and grazes and remember it stinging on first application (a few seconds of what would now just be a tingling sensation) but it meant that my wounds did heal and it gave peace of mind that they wouldn't be infected. Nowadays, I'm much more likely to apply to minor burns from cooking or ironing ...

Review of Savlon Wound Wash

Effective Treatment For Minor Burns

Advantages: Soothing and Effective
Disadvantages: None

...most high street chemists called Acriflex so I decided to give it a try. This product is available to buy for around £1.50 for a 30g tube of the product. It is packaged in a distinctively coloured orangey-red box. The name prominently displayed on the front. The inner tube is made from a metallic material. The opening is sealed however there is a spike in the screw-top lid which pierces the product and hence allows access to the cream inside. The ...
...useful in the treatment of minor burns and scalds, abrasions, scratches, cuts, sunburn blisters and also in the treatment of infected and cracked skin. Other ingredients include Arlatone983S, Cetostearyl Alcohol, Liquid Paraffin, Dimeticone 20, Glycerol, Quinoline Yellow Lake 250 and purified water. The cream itself is a pale yellow colour which is completely odourless, this I thought was fantastic as some similar products on the market have a really ...
