Hands chapped from over-washing?
By Mitch Allen
Last week a Facebook friend posted a question: “Does anybody know how to help dry, chapped hands? I’ve been washing them so much they’re cracked and burning.”
Normally, I don’t weigh in when friends are seeking advice on social media, but I knew the answer to this question—from first-hand experience.
Two of my personal friends are John and Jalaine Mast, the husband-wife co-founders of Salt Creek Essentials, based in Millersburg, Ohio. The pair were so impressed with a natural moisturizer they discovered called Thentix, that they started their own company offering it. The product line has been popular in Canada for many years, but it’s hard to find in the U.S.
John knew I suffered from psoriasis, so he sent me a sample. It does a fabulous job reducing the dry, flaky plaques associated with psoriasis without harmful steroids. In fact, Thentix is natural. Check out the ingredients:
- Natural Honey; heals and moisturizes
- Vitamin B5; moisturizes
- Royal Jelly; antibacterial
- Aloe Vera; heals and moisturizes
- Ginseng Extract; oxygenates
- Vitamin A; antioxidant
- Vitamin E healing accelerator
- Avocado Oil; skin toner
- Jojoba Oil; preserves and softens
- Calendula Extract; antiseptic/anti-inflammatory
- Chamomile Extract; anti-inflammatory
“I’ve been using it morning and night for over 10 years,” Jalaine says. “And when the kids were little, we’d use it for sunburns, bug bites, and chapped lips, but it is literally made for dry hands.”
So, stay safe and keep washing those hands, but take care of them, too. You can purchase Thentix online directly from Jalaine and John.
For more information or to give Thentix a try, visit SaltCreekEssentials.com. Jalaine and John Mast will ship your purchase from their storehouse in Millersburg.
