Living in northern Europe has its advantages and the occasional disadvantage too. The weather, especially in winter, can be harsh. The winds, the rains, the salt sprays, the frosts and the cold can all take their toll on the skin. For that reason creams such as Shetland Rescue Cream have been developed for the purpose of relieving the discomfort.

Shetland Rescue Cream is the brainchild of Shetland Soap Company. Of course, you don't have to live in the north to enjoy its benefits. You can be living in the tropics and still gain the almost magical relief that it can bring. It's just that the wet and windy climate of the Shetland Isles, and what it can do to gentle skin, was one of the reasons for producing this incredible product.

Shetland Rescue Cream is a moisturiser at its most basic level. However, it's much more too. It contains tea tree and eucalyptus essential oils, a gentle soothing application with antiseptic and healing properties built in. The word is growing about Shetland Rescue Cream. It is becoming known as something to heal and soothe all kinds of skin problems.

Shetland Rescue Cream has not undergone any formal medical testing to date, so it cannot be stated with any degree of authority that it provides any kind of healing or relief to skin ailments, other than might reasonably be expected from a good skin moisturiser.

However, the proof is in the pudding, as they say, and many of Shetland Soap Company's customers now swear by its healing properties. That in itself is strong testimony as there's no one more convinced than a satisfied customer.

One such satisfied customer is Ron Williamson. He comes from Bishop Auckland in County Durham, England. He was in Lerwick taking in Up-Helly-Aa and stopped along the Shetland Soap Company shop. He bought a jar of Shetland Rescue Cream, enjoyed the fire festival and went back home.

Ron had been having a problem with very dry skin on his feet. This was a condition that he'd suffered with for many years. Sometimes large cracks formed that caused him a lot of pain. He'd tried just about everything his doctor had prescribed, but all the creams and ointments made little difference to his skin problem.

Back in Bishop Auckland Ron decided to try Shetland Rescue Cream. He'd tried the rest, so why not, he thought. He rubbed the cream in to the dry skin on his feet every night before going to bed. He kept this up without fail for several weeks. Then something amazing happened. Ron's feet healed.

His wife was amazed. His doctor was amazed. Nothing ? simply nothing ? had worked in years to ease the pain and discomfort Ron had suffered. But Shetland Rescue Cream worked. It cleared the problem completely. In Ron's own words, "We keep a pot on hand now to rub on hands and feet when the need arises." Ron's now a very convinced and very satisfied customer.
