Using a hand cream is the best way to repair and restore damaged hands, ensuring that they not only look younger but feel softer too! The skin on top of your hands is much thinner and has less sebaceous glands, meaning it can become dry very quickly. Unfortunately, store-bought hand creams are very overpriced nowadays. If you’re into DIY we’ve got just what you need – this hand cream recipe is a must-try!

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons shea butter
• 2 teaspoons aloe vera gel
• 2 teaspoons grapeseed oil

It is always best to use organic ingredients if possible!

A Little About Essential Oils
