HappyGrace Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Neosporin? Nothing? They're really red and hot from playing outside in the winter wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Maybe aloe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Katia Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I agree with the aloe. It's great for relief and healing. Now, this may sound strange, but when I used to go outside to play in the winter, my mom would rub Vaseline on our faces. It would keep our faces warm and protect them from the wind. I have no idea how 'healthy' it is/was, but it really worked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyGrace Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 thanks-tried the aloe (from my aloe plant) since those were the first two i read-that worked!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cera Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 My grandmother used to rub our cheeks with vaseline when we went out as well. I have used Aquaphor on oldest when she was out on really cold days and it does seem to help (the little one refused to go out in the snow before we moved).

In The Great White North Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Rubbing chapstick on her cheeks works well too (and I was more likely to have some in my pocket than Vaseline). The various little jars of "hand salve," healing salve," or "wound salve" at the local health food store all work well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't feel "goopy" after you put it on. Can't smell it. And it works great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 And you can't beat the price. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 My mom always used Vaseline on our cheeks, too. I put it or Aquaphor on my kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I've used Lanolin -- it's extremely protective and healing for windburn and chapping -- but it's also kind of messy... I'd probably stick with chapstick or Aquaphor, if I had those around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
