Hand Care

Even in Tenessee, the winters can get cold. My hands crack badly, and last year my mom gave me a helpful tip, so I thought I'd share it with you! The secret: olive oil and salt. No, I'm not kidding. Pour a small amount of salt into your hand, and pour a tablespoon or so of oil on top (doesn't need to be exact). Rub it around on your hands for a minute or two, but be forewarned: it will tickle! Use just enough water to get the salt off, and then pat your hands dry with a paper towel. Your hands will feel soft and hopefully won't crack as much.
