As any outdoorsman or outdoorswoman knows, repeated exposure to the elements can lead to dry, cracked, painful skin. Whether on your hands, feet, lips, elbows, or some other exposed body part, dry, cracked skin can be annoying, at best, but can also lead to decreased enjoyment of your outdoors hobbies, difficulty in performing certain tasks, and infections.
I recently received some test samples of Outdoor Hands Intense Skin Therapy Cream and Li’l Puckers Lip Cream, both of which are marketed to offer relief to outdoors enthusiasts who suffer from dry, cracked skin.
I will tell you that during bird hunting season my hands and lips crack like a wine glass dropped from the roof of a ten-story building. Busting through thick cover in sub-freezing weather tears my hands apart, so I cannot wait to test Outdoor Hands Intense Skin Therapy Cream in another couple months.
Not wanting to wait that long to test Outdoor Hands Intense Skin Therapy Cream and Li’l Puckers Lip Cream, however, I gave a sample of each to my friend Tom who is a crabber in the Chesapeake Bay and the Delaware Bay. His crabbing excursions involve 4+ hours of tying knots and baiting trot lines the day before he hits the water; 10+ hours of handling nets, lines, crabs, and a motor while on the water and in the sun; and another hour of untying the salt-water-soaked, crab-picked chicken bones from the trot lines. Needless to say, his hands take a beating.
After trying Outdoor Hands Intense Skin Therapy Cream for a month, Tom says, “I am impressed with the way the cream soothed everything from rope burn and sun burn, to crab shell cuts and calluses. Plus, after using the 3.4-fluid-ounce tube for more a month, I still have half the tube left!” [The instructions call for applying a “PEA-SIZE amount.”]
