Eight Hour Cream is Also Good for a Chapped Nose

I haven’t blogged for a few days because a virus has laid me low. My closest companion has been a tissue box and the result is the classic scratchy dry skin on my nose and the blistered lips that come along with cold miseries.

Once resurfacing I headed to my basket of potions to find something that would relieve the dry, chapped skin that comes along with a cold and found my trusty Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. I talked about this product earlier this year when I was fighting the skin dryness that accompanies late season gardening in the sometimes harsh winds we get here along the Northern Michigan coast

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream is great to wear out in the garden on a chilly day to avoid chapping but it’s also great on a cold-chapped nose. Although it’s active ingredient is petrolatum, it feels light to wear - not gloppy like petroleum jelly - and it doesn’t have to be removed once you’re inside.

According to the Elizabeth Arden website Eight Hour Cream was created in 1930. A little further research uncovered the story that they cream got its name when a customer used it to soothe a child’s skinned knee and the result was that the knee was almost healed in eight hours. Now I’ve never tried it as a healing cream for a skinned knee so I can’t vouch for that! What I can tell you is if you’re looking for a ckin soother that makes a practical present or stocking stuffer this is a great selection!
