Turn Your Alligator Hands into Silk
This season feels like a dry one and as we know Winter may bring much of the same. Here's a way to naturally and affordably give your hands VIP treatment so they feel like silk. You'll need 1 lemon, 1 cup of white or medium brown granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon warm coconut oil (or some other kind of natural oil) and creme lotion. I personally like to do this with coconut oil and nivea hand creme because its so moisturizing but any lotion will do. Use corn oil if thats what you got. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze as much as possible into a bowl. Half will yield enough. Then add your sugar 1/4 cup at a time stirring until the sugar dissolves. Depending on the amount of juice you sqeezed, you may be able to use more than a cup of sugar but you won't need it. The mix should be thick but pourable. Next take two spoonfuls of the mix and rub it into your hands as thought you are washing your hands. Get between your fingers and keep this up for 3 minutes. If the mix gets too dry add more lemon juice. Don't rub your hands raw. Next rinse your hands off completely in the sink with lukewarm water. Next take the oil (warmed if possible) and rub that into your hands till its gone. Next rub in some hand creme and voila! Your hands will be exfoliated naturally, infused with vitamins and protected. Now you've got soft holdable hands.
