GRANDMOTHER'S BEAUTY SECRETS WITH ARGAN OIL: Hands and feet
It's getting colder again, winter is lurking. I've been cycling for a few days with ice cold hands and if I don't do something quickly my nails will break and I will get cracks and cracks in my hands. With these thoughts in mind, a new blog spontaneously appeared!
Our hands, we use them gratefully every day. They have to endure a lot because, unlike the rest of our skin, they are always bare and exposed to the wind while doing the dishes, gardening and cycling.
Good care works wonders and beautiful, well-groomed hands often say a lot about a person. Subconsciously I often pay a lot of attention to other hands. Dirty nails? He will probably tinker with cars. Far too long fake nails with diamonds on them? Raunchy!
A few delicious and quick recipes to care for your hands:
ARGAN OIL HAND SCRUB WITH CANE SUGAR
For this handy ( ;) ) scrub with Argan oil you need:
2 teaspoons of organic argan oil
1 teaspoon coarse cane sugar
Make a cup with your hand and pour the Argan oil into it. Add the cane sugar and scrub away! It's that simple! The sugar mixes with the Argan oil as soon as you start exfoliating. The argan oil perfectly conditions your hands and cuticles and the sugar loosens the dead skin cells. You can also use salt, but sugar dries out your skin less. Use finer sugar if you have sensitive skin. After scrubbing, rinse your hands well and use a nourishing hand cream.
HAND SCRUB WITH ARGAN OIL AND ALMOND
For this hand care with Argan oil you need:
1 handful of almonds
30 ml organic Argan oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons of honey
I always make this scrub in larger portions and store it in a jar in a dark place. Grind the almonds finely in a food processor, but not completely until fine, otherwise the scrubbing effect will be lost. Mix all ingredients together and store the mixture at room temperature. This scrub is doubly nourishing because of the addition of honey, which makes your skin wonderfully soft in combination with Argan oil. The lemon ensures an even complexion and the almonds remove dead skin cells. Wash your hands well after using this scrub, if any residue remains, it may feel sticky.
HAND LOTION WITH ARGAN OIL AND ALMOND OIL
For this hand care with Argan oil you need:
6 tablespoons of organic Argan oil
6 tablespoons almond oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons of beeswax
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature and mix them together. You have now created a soft, nourishing lotion that is suitable for the entire body but provides ultimate benefits for hands and feet. This lotion is also a solution for very dry hands with small wounds. Argan oil supports the skin 's restorative capacity and gives your skin an extra helping hand during the cold winter days.
My grandmother suffered a lot from dry hands in the winter, she could tell by looking at her hands whether it was going to freeze! I got the recipe for the hand lotion from her and she used it daily at temperatures below zero. What can also help a lot is to massage this lotion into your hands before going to sleep and then put on cotton gloves. This way, your hands get the chance to heal while you sleep and the Argan oil can do its work. This also makes your cuticles super soft!
