Hand Cream and Lotion Recipes

Paying attention to proper skin care is a very important part of every person's life. This isn't about being vain. Your skin is your body's primary defense against infection and illness. It is critical that your skin is healthy - well moisturized, protected from sun, if you are going to have it do its job for the many years you hopefully will live! Besides the more serious issues such as skin cancer, there are all of the colds and illnesses that you could avoid getting, because your skin helps to keep you safe. 

Creams and lotions can get expensive, though. Many people really want to keep their skin healthy but just can't afford the high prices of quality cream and lotion. The cheap creams and lotions are often full of junk materials that you wouldn't want anywhere near your skin! By making your own cream and lotion, you can have high quality skin care at a nice, low price. These are also perfect for gift giving! 

I will present you in the next articles the recipes for every product from below! Have fun with "creaming yourself"!

Supplies
The place I get containers and lids from is from IKEA  and BayouSome or from a shop in my neighborhood that has small bottles or other types of containers hermetically closed. I don't have an affiliate plan with them (BayouSome) - I simply, honestly recommend them as having good products.
