Save My Skin!

I know this is going to sound crazy but..apretty made me think of it when she mentioned breastfeeding. When I was breastfeeding, my nipples were SO raw, I could barely feed my daughter. They were cracked and bleeding, and chaffed. SO, someone told me a great trick. I took regular tea bags, soaked them in hot water for a few moments..and layed them on my nipples. NOTHING worked like the tea bags!! I've also used this trick when my skin was cracked and brittle, and it works really well. I usually would do it once a day, sometimes more, depending on how bad they felt. The active ingredient is the tanic acid..it's such a healer!! Try that, then put on some really great cream.
