A + D Original Ointment

This is used to treat diaper rash, but it’s amazing how well it works on cuticles. There are so many cuticle products available that range from poor quality to Holy Grail. The truth is that sometimes the best source is packaged in a dirt cheap, unsuspecting product. No one ever thinks, “Hey, I’m going to try the product that’s used to treat butt rashes.” I would’ve never considered trying this ointment for this purpose if it weren’t for a magazine suggesting it. I’m really glad I tried it because it’s super cheap and really effective. When you think about it, it makes sense. A + D ointment is much richer and creamier than any other cuticle treatments out there because it’s ointment. It isn’t water based. The drawback is that it doesn’t have the best absorption, but you can rub it in. Just understand that it’s not a clean task. FYI: If you don’t make sure to rub it in before bedtime, it may stain your sheets. But this is a realistic concern with cuticle oils, as well, so I don’t consider it a major drawback. I know people are disgusted by this concept, but keep in mind that no baby actually used this ointment. For the price, you might as well try it for yourself. You use it like any other cuticle treatment by gently applying a little ointment onto each cuticle and rubbing it in. If used daily, you should notice significant changes within a week. Not only does it go for a couple bucks, but this tube can last well over a year. And you can use it for other purposes such as treating diaper rash, minor burns and cuts, chafed skin, and dry lips.
