As the days get longer, we
start to venture outside and begin tending to the garden and outdoor projects. While
we crave that time to be outdoors again, the lingering cold and damp can be
tough on our hands.
My grandmother swore by a
blend of simple ingredients to keep her hands protected from the elements. It
includes vinegar, which helps restore the acid balance of the skin, while
helping with absorption of the other ingredients.
Ingredients :
20 ml (1/2 fl. oz.) Rosewater
2 tsp Vegetable Glycerine
½ tsp White Wine Vinegar
½ tsp Honey (for best
results use a runny honey, not solid)
10 drops Lemon Essential
Oil
Preparation :
Mix all the ingredients
together in a 2 fl. oz. bottle. Shake well before each use.
