Natural Hand Scrub
Removing the dead skin layer is a mandatory step for hand care even before applying a hand cream or a hand mask. Here is a super quick and natural hand scrub. You will need 3 tbsp of sugar and one tablespoon of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Mix the sugar with the grapefruit juice, then rub it in circular movements on your washed hands, until the sugar “melts” completely. Rinse with warm water, then with cold water, and apply a nourishing hand cream afterward, or a natural hand mask.
Natural Hand Cream for Cold Weather
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of beeswax (grated or pellets)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of calendula oil
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa butter or shea butter
- 5-6 drops of lavender essential oil
- 2-3 drops of vitamin E oil
Melt the beeswax and the butter in a steam bath, then remove from the heat. After the wax and butter have cooled, but are still soft, add the olive oil, calendula oil, lavender essential oil, and vitamin E, and mix well. Immediately transfer the liquid cream into a clean glass jar. Seal the jar only after the cream has cooled down completely. The shelf life of this natural hand cream is two months (in the fridge), as it doesn’t contain any preservatives.
How to Use
Apply it several times a day on your hands for best results. It both protects and repairs the delicate skin of your hands from the damage caused by detergents, soap, extreme heat, cold, etc.
