Dry Skin/poor hand circulation

[Guest guest]

Hello, All,

 

I'm a chronic List Lurker-- I love reading the posts & although

there's many I'd love to respond to I never seem to get a message of

my own composed-- let alone posted! I apologize for my laziness!

I've been working with essential oils (mostly for myself, and a few

friends and family) for about a year now, enough to be hopelessly

hooked. I've experimented a bit with bath salts and I'm about to

slide down that " slippery slope " into soapmaking-- so look for more

questions from me soon!! In the meantime, with Christmas

looming large, I've got a couple of friends that I'd like to make

some dry skin cream/lotion for. Two friends in particular have a

terrible time in the Indiana winter with dry, cracked skin and very

poor circulation in the hands (and feet). I would LOVE some

suggestions for creams or lotions, and essential oils! Neither of

them (both guys) want anything that " feels greasy " or (God

Forbid!!) " Slimy " !! I recently got some of Margaret's Shea Butter

and I'm thinking of using that as a base. (That stuff is just

AWESOME!! No other word for it!!

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Sue,

I have very dry skin too and my daughter tells me she can tell the weather by

her legs ! LMAO Yes, I almost wet myself laughing when she told me that. What

she meant is that her legs get real dry and flaky when the weather is about to

turn cold. The joke in our house and with friends now is we have Lee-Lee legs !

(Lee-Lee is her nick name.) Recently I made a very simple but awesome cream

using shea butter, mowrah butter and monoi oil. equal parts of each and blended

with a blender. It is greasy for only a minute or so as it soaks into your skin

very quickly. My hubby is a photographer and does a lot of his own printing so

his hands get very dried out from the fix. He loves this new cream I made.

 

Hugs,

Sally

p.s. posting is a lot of fun ! Hope we see more post from you in the future

Hi, Sally,

 

Loved the story about the " Lee-Lee legs " ! I've got a couple of

joints I can tell the weather by! I want to try your cream

recipe! What proportions do you use, and where do you get the mowrah

butter and monoi oil?

 

Thanks so much!
