All the work around the house and frequent washing can dry out sensitive skin on our hands and make it rough, sometimes cracked. Ouch, been there. Using mild soaps helps and slathering them with rich creams will give them all the oils and moisture they need. Here are some recipes that will help keep our lovely, hard-working hands in tip-top shape! And I always prefer home-made recipes when you know what you have used. You can find all the ingredients in a pharmacy and a healthy food store.

You just need to stir all the oils together for approx 2 minutes and pour in a bottle. Once a week apply to clean nails and do not rinse. This oil mix is especially great for toe nails and you can forget about a pedicure follow-up since the nail polish won't adhere due to the oils absorbed.

Ova mjesavina ulja je najbolja za nozne nokte ali nemojte ih pokusavati nalakirati poslije uljne kure jer lak za nokte nece ostati na mjestu zbog upijenih ulja.
