Top Skin Care Tips by Burn Survivors

Dealing with dry skin during the winter is no joke. Hence we have compiled a list of top skin care tips by burn survivors, the ladies who know best.

For this task, we have enlisted burn survivor Isabel, Kat and Raiche to share their wisdom with us. See their top tips below:

Best Hand Moisturizer:

Isabel, who has burn scars in her hand and arm, has tried all of the hand moisturizers and the winner is Weleda Skin Food. “It goes on thick, but absorbs beautifully.” She uses it not only in her hands, but in dry sensitive areas like her face. Fun tip: professional makeup artists use it as primer!

Weleda Skin Food

Incessant hand washing during COVID19, meant that Isabel had to bring the big guns. For that she used Cerave Healing Ointment (CeraVe Healing Ointment | 12 Ounce | Cracked Skin Repair Skin Protectant with Petrolatum Ceramides | Lanolin & Fragrance Free. Isabel recommends that you apply it and then put on a cotton glove at night to heal your hands. She calls this “the perfect hand therapy,” reminiscent of the paraffin treatments she received in physical therapy after her injury.

Best Facial Moisturizer

Isabel swears by Elta MD products, “the AM Therapy Facial Moisturizer and the Broad Spectrum SPF 50 are effective, yet sensitive enough for grafts.”

Best Body Lotion for Winter

In order to avoid dry skin and cracks, Raiche recommends a heavy tub of Cocoa Butter. “Cocoa butter does wonders for me.” 


Best Body Lotion for Warmer Seasons

Cocoa Butter can be a bit too much for warmer seasons, so Raiche recommends Aveeno. Kat agrees, Aveeno is the best overall moisturizer.

Best Body Oil 

Kat recommends her go-to home remedy. She mixes shea butter oil or coconut oil with a bit of vitamin E. She rubs it in her skin immediately after the shower. 


Best Active Sunblock

“Ocean Potion SPF50 Face Zinc Oxide Clear 1 has been my tried and true for years” says Isabel. It doesn’t come off during snorkeling or other water sports.

A fan of cocoa butter myself, I am excited to try their other suggestions. Didn’t see your dry skin go-to here? Share it in the comment section!

    Reviews and comments can be helpful most times. permit me to share that, in the first week of March 2024, I was convinced to invest in a fake Altcoin cryptocurrency platform through someone I connected with on Telegram , which I did but unfortunately after investing my money I discovered I could not withdraw or access my account on the fake platform. Lucky for me, I came across a review on funds recovery and I contacted Coinsrecoveryworldwide Service, and through their help and support I was able to recover my money. Losing money trading crypto can be frustrating but I am happy today that my funds are recovered and I wish to share with you their contacts as i know i am not alone on this boat, nobody deserves to be in such situation.

    You can get your Ex Back and cure your Infertility and Herpes with Chief Dr. Odunga.

    When I met Chief Dr. Odunga, my husband had divorced me for over 2 years because I was infertile. I was devastated and confused as a woman of 41 years of age to be a barren woman. I went online to look for help on how to get my marriage back then I met Chief Dr. Odunga. Within 48 hours of contacting him, my ex husband came back home and pleaded for me to forgive him and take him back. I knew the spell had worked. I accepted his apologies and then told Chief Dr. Odunga of my bareness for him to help me. He sent me the herbs for fertility and after 2 days of completing the treatment, I did it with my husband and immediately I conceived and became pregnant. 9 months later, I gave birth to twins. Presently, I am a mother of two beautiful children, a boy and a girl and I am very happy in my marriage. I would recommend him to anyone because I trust he has the power and ability to help you too. I give all the praise to God for leading me to Chief Dr. Odunga and his wonderful work. Contact Chief Dr. Odunga Via Whats-App number +2348167159012.

    Hi My name is Mona. I just want to share my experience with the world on how I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause I loved him with all my heart and didn’t want to lose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with relationship problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com visit https://spiritualwork.mozellosite.com
