5. Apply home-made hand masks …
A few drops of lemon juice applied to your hands after washing is a good way to add moisture and vital vitamins to the skin and restore its pH balance. As an emergency hand mask, use a mixture of 1 tbsp glycerine, 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, freshly-squeezed juice of 1 lemon, 1 egg yolk, and several ounces of rose water. Another miraculous hand mask can be made by mixing together humble boiled potatoes and milk.
6. Pamper your hands …
Once a week, pamper your hands with a herbal bath or a herbal oil massage. For a bath, use nettle, sage, calendula, or chamomile steamed in water. Soak your hands in the cooled brew for 10-15 minutes, dry thoroughly, and apply a rich cream. For a massage, use almond oil with several drops of essential oil of rosemary.

I use to have horrible skin in the winter on my hands. They would get red and crack, but now I make sure to use lotion every day. Nice post.
Wow, a home made hand cream….this sounds like something up my alley. I just read Olga’s post about moisturizers and asked about hand cream called “udder butter”, since my sister has very dry skin on her hands, especially during winter time. Are you familiar with it?
Thank you for the wonderful post.
