How do you keep your hands soft?

I love scrubs, creams oils, lotions..all of it, and I have some of everything stashed at home, by the bed, by the couch, in my office, even in the car.

So when I saw an article in Fitness magazine about making your own hand scrub, I thought, "I wonder if anyone else has tried this or would make this besides me?"


Here it is:

1/2 cup dry oatmeal
1/4 cup water
Rub together and scrub your hands and palms, focusing on the cuticles and knuckles. Then rinse and apply a heavy lotion or hand cream.

Also I have a co-worker who uses the little packets of sugar and scrubs her hands under water in the kitchen sink at work....ingenious!

I personally love using sugar and baby oil in the shower if I need a quick scrub or used coffee grounds and olive oil.....awesome body scrub, great for the skin, hell on the shower (that stuff gets everywhere) LOL!



So I ask "What kind of homemade scrub or cream have you created and tried?"

I promise I'll post some pretty nails tomorrow :)
