I have always loved working with my father on small projects. One thing that I have noticed as long as I can remember, dad has very rough and cracked hands. His hands often bleed and are painful to use. With him being as industrious as he is, this is very bothersome to him. Well, I have been talking to him about O'Keeffe's and as it so happens, he has recently been using their Working Hands cream! Here is a bit more about O'Keeffe's and the man who started it all...Bill O'Keeffe!
Our story is a good one, so we can't help but tell it. The roots of O'Keeffe's Company go back more than 25 years to an arid region on the California-Oregon border known as the Klamath Basin. Bill O'Keeffe was a rancher who loved working with his hands. The tough lifestyle, however, took its toll on his hands and feet. The day-to-day act of working with his hands in an arid climate dried his hands and cracked his feet to the point that he could hardly shake hands, and it was painful for him to walk. With his daily work dependent on his hands and feet, there was never enough time for them to heal. Feeling helpless due to her father's constant pain and frustrated by the ineffectiveness of over-the-counter and prescription treatments, his daughter, Tara, was driven to find a way to relieve her father's suffering.
Up to that point, nothing seemed to promote the healing of his split, cracked and damaged skin. Applying her skills as a pharmacist, Tara and her father spent years creating and testing various formulations mixed in her kitchen, until, many years later, she discovered a skin care product that actually helped the healing of her father's damaged skin. This was the basic formula for what has become O'Keeffe's Working Hands. Their dogged-determination resulted in a product that allowed him a better quality of life, and it has since expanded into a booming business helping others with severe skin issues. O'Keeffe's Company promises guaranteed relief from painful cracks and splits in the skin of your hands and feet, and a product more effective than anything the giant cosmetic companies could conceive of.
What started out as a product to help severe cracked and split skin, has since expanded into relief from various additional skin ailments. We have people writing in daily about the relief that O'Keeffe's has brought them from eczema, dermatitis, and more. We are dedicated to developing skin care solutions that work as hard as you do.
O'Keeffe's Company is a family owned business. The company proudly carries on the tradition of family owned businesses that have always been the backbone of American communities.
This is a really great story and one that shows the love that a father and daughter can share. One thing that I learned in reading this is that people have shared success stories about treating Eczema and other skin issues. My daughter suffers from Eczema and I am excited to try this cream on her to see if it works as well as they say it does.
Both the Working Hands and Healthy Feet are Glycerin based and also contains Allantoin, an odorless, non-toxic and non-allergenic skin-protectant derived from the Comfrey plant. It removes dead skin cells to allow for better penetration and absorption of moisture and moisturizing ingredients. This sounds so great! You can purchase both of these products as mass retail stores and also at hardware stores. Check out their store locator to find a store near you! Retail price is $7.99.
So, in my opinion...O'Keeffe's Skin Creams are fantastic! I am thrilled with the results of the Healthy Feet cream and highly recommend it to anyone who suffers from rough, calloused or cracked skin on their feet. The Working Hands cream has been great for my father and I am glad that he finally has a solution for his painfully cracked hands. I would definitely recommend this top-of-the-line company to anyone and everyone!!
O'Keeffe's has offered to give 5 of my readers one tub of each of these products! YAAAY! So, 5 of you will win Healthy Feet and Working Hands! Here are your entry options into this fabulous giveaway...thanks to O'Keeffe's for their generosity!
