Whether you are using the Soothing Balm for Hand-Foot Syndrome or just for dry hands, it won't be long before you see the benefits. Lindi's Soothing Balm was originally developed to help alleviate Hand-Foot syndrome, a side effect of some cancer drugs where the skin on the hands and feet becomes red, painful, extremely dry and cracked. Our Soothing Balm is unmatched in its ability to soothe and calm irritated skin of varying degrees. For truly compromised hands and feet, try holding a piece of Lindi's Cooler Roll against your hand or foot for 30-45 minutes before applying the Soothing Balm. Relief is here.
