natural Hand Moisturizing Creams

beeswax and coconut oil hand cream

This natural hand moisturizing cream helps to moisturize the skin and helps protect the skin from the elements and harsh weather. I suggest using this hand moisturizing cream in replace of your regular hand cream. This hand moisturizing cream should be used in the morning and evening. However, if you suffer from severely dry skin on the hands you can use this hand moisturizing cream throughout the day as needed.

 

• In a small sauce man, bring the water to a heavy boil them remove from the heat. Pour in the apricots, and then put to the side.
• In a double broiler, set to low heat, add in the beeswax, apricot oil and coconut oil. Stir the mixture together gently as it warms, and remove from the heat once the beeswax has melted.
• Puree the apricots and water, then strain the mixture into a medium mixing bowl. Add in the aloe Vera gel and vitamin E oil and stir together gently.
• Slowly drizzle the mixture into the beeswax mixture, stirring constantly as you add it.
• Once it's been thoroughly mixed, pour into a glass jar or cosmetics bottle, and then allow it to reach room temperature. Store the hand cream in the fridge between uses.

Olive oil and Honey Hand Cream

Olive oil and honey hand cream is a simple, easy to make hand cream that is great for nourishing and moisturizing the skin after a long day of working with the hands. Olive oil and honey hand cream is also good for moisturizing hands after washing the dishes, an everyday activity that saps essential moisture from the hands, often leaving them dry and rough. Olive oil and honey hand cream will keep for about four months from the day it is made if stored in a cool, dark place between uses. 

• Combine the olive oil, raw honey and liquid lecithin in a blender. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds to thoroughly combine the ingredients.
• Add the apple cider vinegar and vitamin E oil and pulse on low for about one minute.
• Transfer the olive oil and honey hand cream to a small wide-mouth glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
