Magdalena - Now my hands are soft and smooth

Article in Må Bra:

Magdalena was embarrassed by the condition of her hands. Traditional treatments did not help at all. Then she tried blackcurrant capsules.

For fifteen years, Magdalena Röyttä has had problems with skin conditions on her hands. During the winter months, when it was at its worst, her hands were so dry that she could barely bend her fingers.

"I've tried to link the discomfort to what I've eaten or whether I've been too stressed, but the problems have been there anyway. It's difficult because you show your hands all the time. The worst thing has been when the children don't want their mother to pat them on the cheeks," says Magdalena.

She has tried a number of different products and been prescribed cortisone treatments by doctors, but without any effect. However, a year and a half ago, she turned to district nurse and skin expert Marie Morén for help. She recommended capsules and cream with blackcurrant seed oil.

"I didn't have particularly high expectations, but I had nothing to lose, so I thought, 'Oh, I'll give it a try!

"It felt absolutely fantastic! Now I finally don't have to think about my hands all the time. Just shaking hands with someone new used to feel really awkward. People thought the eczema looked disgusting and thought it was contagious."
