This is my daughter and she's a hair stylist.  Stylists constantly have their hands in water, soap, chemicals, and well, hair.  Very recently she suffered severe dry, cracked skin on her hands as well as "tennis elbow" which is really painful if you've never experienced it.  In December, I sent her a care package of Mel products and within three days she experienced relief with the irritated skin and the pain in her arm.   It's True!
