Need a hand?

Our hands take the brunt of everything we do. Are your hands getting rough and cracked? It's time to sack them!

What you will need:
-two zip lock bags
-body or hand lotion
-oil (any therapeutic, natural or vegetable oil)
-two rubber bands
-two dish size hand towels

Pull out your favorite hand or body lotion and add two tablespoons of oil. You can use almost anything from therapeutic oils including lavender, rose and mint or you can even grab something out of your kitchen cabinet. Vegetable oil works great! Place your mixture of oil and lotion into a microwave safe bowl. Heat for about 60-90 seconds. Stir up the concoction and pour evenly into two zip lock bags. If you have someone to help you, you can try doing both hands at once, if not then do each hand one at a time. Place each hand into the bag and fasten closed with the rubber band around your wrist. Then wrap the dish size hand towels around each zip lock bag to entrap the heat. Allow your hands to rest and relax for about 15 minutes as the mixture moisturizes the skin.

After the 15 minutes take your hands out of the bags and wipe off the excess lotion with one of the dish towels, you can then massage the rest of the mixture into your hands. Do this once a week and you'll have hands as soft as silk!
