Tis the season of dry skin. Last night my hands were dry and feeling winter rough - catchy. Catchy - you know when your skin sticks to nylon -silk type material. Microfibers are the worst. augh!!
There is a simple, inexpensive solution at your fingertips! Shop your pantry! I love recipes with limited ingredients and few steps. This is so easy- in less than 5 minutes you will have soft smooth and happy hands again.
Ingredients:
Oil
I used my kitchen's organic olive oil but feel free to use Organic: sunflower oil, sesame oil, avocado oil, walnut oil and safflower oils. Anything you cook with will work. You are using organic oils to cook with right??
Salt &/or sugar
A fine salt but sugar or a combo of both would have been heavenly as well. My favorite salts for a scrub are fine salts. Leave the course salts for cooking.
Directions: Last night I simply poured a little salt in my hand followed by a little olive oil. Then rubbed my hands together for 2-5 minutes. Get everywhere! Rinse and dry! Walla the worlds easiest, least expense and most productive hand scrub ever!
I decided to post this recipe this morning when I woke up and noticed how insanely soft and smooth my hands.
Enjoy! Wishing you the gift of simplicity for the holidays,
