Nourishing Winter Hand Scrubs












Handmade scrubs are excellent for making your skin soft, smoothing, healing dry, rough skin and removing dead skin. For your hands, they can be used once or twice a week, I wouldn't recommend more than that, you don't want to dry your hands out.










Banana .&. Brown Sugar Hand Scrub-

Mash up 2 Bananas, mix with 3/4 cup of Dark Brown Sugar or (Extra Fine Granulated Sugar) and 1 teaspoon of Olive Oil. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Use the scrub for 2 days.








Almond .&. Honey Hand Scrub-

Grind a handful of Almonds to a fine powder, mix in 1/2 teaspoon of Pure Honey, and add in enough Milk to make a smooth paste. Use immediately, this shouldn't be stored.







Lemon .&. Brown Sugar Hand Scrub-

In a small jar mix together, 1/3 cup of Olive Oil (or Coconut Oil), 2/3 cup of Brown Sugar, Juice of 1/2 a Fresh Lemon, a pinch of Lemon Zest. Mix together well, cover with lid and store in the fridge. (use twice a week) 







Brown Sugar .&. Vanilla Hand Scrub-

In a small container or jar, mix together 1 cup of Dark Brown Sugar, 1/2 cup of Vegetable Oil, 1 Vitamin E liquid gel cap, 1 teaspoon of Pure Vanilla Extract , and 1 tablespoon of Pure Honey. 






Remember after doing a scrub, make sure to apply a good moisturizer. Olive Oil and Coconut Oil are very good natural moisturizers, you can even use Petroleum Jelly to soften your hands, all of these work wonderfully. 



Enjoy! :)
