I love bag balm for three reasons:
1. The tin will last for about 4 years.
2. The stuff feels amazing when you're slathering it on your hands.
3. It really does the trick of moisturizing my hands.

HOWEVER, I do have to combat the greasiness: I typically use bag balm as the last step of my "getting ready" routine in the mornings. I'll use Vitamin E cuticle oil and then a dime-sized amount of bag balm and just go to town rubbing it into the top of my hands, palms, cuticles, in between fingers, etc. The longer the rub-in, the better. Then, I'll kind of wipe the excess surface gunk from my palms before I head out the door. My cuticles and tops of my hands still look greasy, but it absorbs over the drive-time to wherever I'm going. At night I usually rub in a dime-sized amount and don't worry about wiping off the excess - great for wearing with cotton gloves for the deep-sleep moisturizing treatment.

This isn't a purse-toting mid-day kind of balm - it's pretty heavy duty. Think vaseline, but better.

STINKY!

This stuff smells so awful. I used it on my feet before bedtime, but I had to wash it off my hands to keep from smelling it. It worked ok, but no magic....Read complete review

    Comments about Vermont's Original Bag Balm Protective Ointment, 10 oz:

    I bought this item because of our dog. She keeps sticking her nose in our berry bushes and had gotten her nose is such bad shape (dry, scratched and scraped) that I didn't know what to do. It did such a great job for her I started using it on by feet. Well all I can say is that she had better keep her nose out of the berries because this stuff is mine!

      Comments about Vermont's Original Bag Balm Protective Ointment, 10 oz:

      I have eczema and if I have a bad flare up, Bag Balm is my 'go-to' cream. It is heavy and thick, but that is partof its benefit in that it is long-lasting. Great to use just before bedtime because it will have an impact overnight.

        Comments about Vermont's Original Bag Balm Protective Ointment, 10 oz:

        Wearing sandals and flip-flops in a hot and dry climate full of sand can really dry one's heels out but put some of this on at bedtime with cotton socks and dry,cracked heels will disappear. It is also good for minor scrapes, cuts and scratches, it heals them right up and helps reduce scarring.I can't find it in stores anymore so I hope drugstore.com continues to carry it. It is an awesome product.

              I apply to my feet at night and cover with white cotton socks to prevent getting it on my bed linens. Not a very attractive look but it's great for dry, cracked heels so I love it.

                Best diaper rash cream around. Cleared up sever rash after 2 applications. Great for sores and hand cream.
                Plus it was the only thing dad used on his cows when they had sores and bag problems. We just can't find this oniment anymore in stores around here.

                  Heavy duty moisturizer, seals moisture into skin after shower or bath. Do not use before bed. Use as sparingly as possible and leave enough time for product to be absrbed before putting trousers on say one hour.
