MOISTURIZING HANDS RECIPES
MOISTURIZIN HANDS RECIPES
Here are three simple recipes for moisturizing your hands:
Coconut Oil and Honey Hand Cream: Mix equal parts coconut oil and honey in a small bowl. Rub the mixture onto your hands and leave it on for at least 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Avocado and Olive Oil Hand Mask: Mash half of a ripe avocado in a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix well. Rub the mixture onto your hands and leave it on for at least 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Banana and Yogurt Hand Scrub: Mash half of a ripe banana in a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt and mix well. Rub the mixture onto your hands and use your fingers to gently scrub for 2-3 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Shea Butter and Essential Oil Hand Cream: Mix 2 tablespoons of shea butter with 5-7 drops of your favorite essential oil (such as lavender, peppermint, or lemon) in a small bowl. Rub the mixture onto your hands and massage in until fully absorbed.
Aloe Vera and Vitamin E Hand Lotion: Mix 1/4 cup of aloe vera gel with 1 tablespoon of vitamin E oil in a small bowl. Rub the mixture onto your hands and massage in until fully absorbed.
Beeswax and Coconut Oil Hand Balm: In a double boiler, melt 1 tablespoon of beeswax and 1/4 cup of coconut oil together. Once melted, remove from heat and add 5-7 drops of your favorite essential oil. Pour the mixture into a small container and allow to cool and solidify. Rub a small amount onto your hands as needed.
Oatmeal and Milk Hand Soak: Mix 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 1/2 cup of milk together in a small bowl. Add the mixture to a basin of warm water and soak your hands for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Chocolate and Coconut Oil Hand Cream: Mix 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil together in a small bowl. Rub the mixture onto your hands and massage in until fully absorbed. The cocoa powder will provide a subtle chocolate scent and also contains antioxidants that can help to protect the skin.
Rosewater and Glycerin Hand Mist: Mix 1/4 cup of rosewater with 1 tablespoon of glycerin in a small spray bottle. Shake well and spray onto your hands as needed. This mist will help to hydrate and refresh your hands throughout the day.
Lemon and Sugar Hand Scrub: Mix 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice in a small bowl. Rub the mixture onto your hands and use your fingers to gently scrub for 2-3 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. The lemon juice will help to brighten and even out the skin tone, while the sugar will gently exfoliate dead skin cells.
Milk and Honey Hand Soak: Mix 1/2 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of honey together in a small bowl. Add the mixture to a basin of warm water and soak your hands for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Milk contains lactic acid that can help to exfoliate and soften the skin, while honey is a natural humectant that will help to lock in moisture.
It's important to use fresh ingredients and store the leftovers in the refrigerator if you're not using them all at once. And again, it's best to use these remedies at night before going to bed, and if possible use gloves or cotton gloves on top of the moisturizer for better results.
It's important to note that everyone's skin is different, so it's a good idea to test a small amount of the mixture on your skin before applying it to your hands. Also, these remedies are best if you use them regularly, and if possible to avoid harsh soaps and chemicals that can dry out the skin.
