In the winter months, one of the parts of my body that seems to handle the colder temps the worst is my elbows. I know, seems random. But by the end of winter they are SOOOO dry and are often even cracking. It is nasty, but forgiveable because I can cover it up with long sleeves.
Today’s high is 84 degrees here, so as you can imagine, long sleeve weather is gone. I’ve tried every lotion in my cabinet on my elbows without success. I had some success using my essential oils, but had not completely healed them as of a few weeks ago.
Zim’s asked me to try out their Max Crack Creme and since I had THOSE ELBOWS to contend with, I decided to go for it. Two of the main ingredients in this 100% natural product are arnica extract and myrica oil. I’ve never used either (to my knowledge) and I love trying natural products, so this seemed like a good fit. Nothing to lose but gross elbows, right?
I knew this product was a winner after my very first application, y’all.
The consisistency is much like the carrier oils I use with my essential oils (almond oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, for example). You only need a small amount for each elbow. I typically apply it twice a day, though sometimes I forget an only apply it once. It absorbs quickly and for me, I could notice a difference in how soft my elbows were immediately. This particular line has a few different products you can try (including stuff designed for cracked feet) but the original liquid formula is my personal favorite. My elbows look totally hydrated and healthy, now!
If you have dry cracked elbows then you are absolutely going to LOVE Zim’s Max Crack Creme. The best part? The price! It retails for $6.99 (couldn’t find it on Amazon, but Drugstore.com currently has it for under $5! Buy 2 at that price, y’all)!
