  • Begin by sloughing off dead and dry skin from palms and backs of hands with a homemade sugar scrub (salt scrubs can be drying or irritating):

o   Mix sugar, a few drops of vegetable glycerin and an uplifting essential oil like peppermint or rosemary in a medium-sized bowl.

  • Gently rub hands together to scrub away dullness.  Remove scrub with a warm wet cloth.
  • Do NOT soak fingers in water, as doing so will actually draw the moisture OUT of your skin.
  • Instead, heat up 2 plastic baggies full of a thick, luxurious cream and add a few drops of an invigorating essential oil such as tangerine, ylang ylang, or chamomile.
  • Heat until very warm but not too hot, then place hands in bags for about 2 minutes, allowing moisture to penetrate the skin.
  • Remove hands from bag and massage cream into skin, wiping off any excess.
  • Your hands should instantly feel smooth and look radiant!

    I think during the summer we tend to really focus on keeping our faces moisturized, but our hands not so much. This is a really good post because it brings it to our attention that we really need to take time to pamper our hands too.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
