Old Fashioned Remedy For Smooth Hands

We all like to keep our hands looking and feeling soft, but they can have a hard life. Gardening, cleaning, washing dishes and everyday jobs can leave them dry, rough and weathered. And while there are countless hand creams and treatments available, many contain synthetic fragrances and other ingredients that can irritate or dry out the skin further.

This is an old-fashioned recipe that uses simple ingredients and is surprisingly effective. It really does work, but there is a catch ... you need to use it every night for two weeks, wear gloves to bed and be prepared to use up a few precious eggs!

It's simple, inexpensive and a lovely little natural treatment for giving hardworking hands some extra care.

Old Fashioned Paste For Smooth Hands

2 tbsp almond meal

1 tbsp honey

1 egg yolk, beaten frothy yellow

Mix all of the ingredients together and rub onto your hands. Apply gloves - cotton or an old pair of leather ones will work well - then go to bed.

Repeat every night for 2 weeks.
