Creating a Homegrown and Homemade Life
Is the winter cold taking a toll on your hands? Cracked knuckles and scaly skin are one of the many joys of winter. Traditional lotions and creams can cause your skin to dry out even more. That causes you to use more and in turn buy more. Smart marketing strategy, but not so great for my poor hands. Give these DIY lotion bars a try. They leave your skin feeling smooth and hydrated. I’ve included recipes for both men and women.
