You guessed it! He used to drone on and on about "The Sween Cream brother!
Gotta have the Sween Cream to keep the skin strong." About 6-months ago I
started having serious problems with red, dry cracking
skin and started having heal tiny stage II cracks. I remembered his animated
"Gotta have the Sween Cream Brother!" Remark--and hunted some down. Available
online and at specialty pharmacies.
Within a few days of using Sween Cream the redness and dryness and cracking
went away. It rubs in well too so there is no residue--and within 10-minutes
of rubbing it in you can apply bandages or adhesives over
it. I know I sound like a commercial--but I have no affiliation with them.
Wish I did...
