Recipe for Silky Hands!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Recipe for Silky Hands!!
The coconut oil and sugar
in this all-natural scrub
soften and brighten dull skin.
It’s time for your hands to come out of hibernation
If yours aren’t quite ready,
try this homemade solution from Lisa Price,
founder of Carol’s Daughter, a natural hair- and skin-care line.
Price, who concocted her first products in her kitchen,
created this overnight skin softener
using sugar to gently slough away rough patches,
coconut oil to moisturize, and lemon juice to lighten
pigment discoloration and brighten skin.
You need:
½ cup coconut oil (found at health-food or specialty grocery stores)
½ cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Cotton gloves
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
Rub the mixture over your hands for at least 1 minute,
scrubbing like you would while washing up.
Use a paper towel to brush any excess sugar from your skin.
Slide your hands into the gloves,
and leave them on overnight.
By morning, the oil should be absorbed,
and your hands ready to make their debut.
