DIY hand mask recipe
Excessive hand washing and disinfecting because of the current situation damages the skin and that is undeniable. Since hygiene of our hands must be kept on the highest possible level so that we can protect ourselves from getting infected by the virus, the skin is extremely dry and cracked. Caring for your hands can be done by making a hand mask.
One of the best and easiest hand recipes involves nothing more than oil and sugar. You will need 2/3 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of either coconut oil or olive oil. Mix these two into a jar or container. Apply it to the hand, rub them a bit and rinse them off with warm water. After that, apply highly moisturising hand cream. The combination of sugar and oil will nurture and make your hands softer, while the hand cream will add the needed moisture.
Stay safe, enjoy your time and home and stay tuned for more news and DIY recipes!
