Hi, listen I have a tube of lanolin creme left from when I breastfeed my son.?

Question

I was wondering if there are any other uses for the cream besides putting it on my once upon a time irritated nipples. The creams pretty thick. Any other tips for its use it's 100% pure lanolin.

Answer 1

Moisturizes:
Dry skin, face & neck

Relieves and Protects:
Chapped lips & hands
Cracked heels & elbows
Diaper rash, Cradle cap, Blisters

Soothes:
Eczema, Dermatitis, Sunburn, Windburn

First-Aid Treatment:
Minor cuts, Scratches, Burns

Protective Barrier:
Apply before doing yard work. Will form a barrier that will protect your hands against wind, water, cold, and dirt.

Apply before washing dishes and doing household chores to prevent the damaging effect of detergents from penetrating your skin. Will not wash off and your hands can stay soft without wearing gloves.

Before and after exposure to cold weather, apply to hands and lips. They will always remain smooth.

Apply before going to bed. Will rehydrate and moisturize your skin while allowing it to breathe.

Answer 2

Use it on elbows and knees when it's cold out.. or give yourself a mini pedicure put putting a little on (since its thick) and sleeping with socks on one night... the warmth from your skin will absorb it and you have soft cuddly toesies!! ... or of course there's always baby #2 in a year or two haha if you decide to do that :-)

Answer 3

Just use it over the winter..skin gets real dried out.

Answer 4

use it to treat small cuts and it is great on cracked winter skin (assuming you are in cold climate). also makes a great moisturizer for your lips (or your child's lips).

Answer 5

You could always just use it on your feet or if your hands get really dry.
