Elta, The Melting Moisturizer By Katrine on Mar 05, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Elta is a Swiss skin creme you usually have to preorder to get, the way I found out about it was because my doctor suggested it. Ive had the same large container for about three years now and use it about every other day. This only takes a tiny bit to moisturize, and it doesn't leave the gummy feeling on your hands when you rub it in. Though your hands do look a bit greasy for a few minutes afterwards. The doctor suggested this to me because I had just gotten skin grafts and need to apply a good moisturizer to the places the skin was taken from and to where it was moved to. It may seem a little expensive but it lasts you a good long while and its also good to put on small burns or other places with dry dry skin, such as elbows or feet. I wouldn't use this as regular lotion but it is good to have on hand if you get really dry skin in winter.
