SHEA BUTTER & LAVENDER HAND CREAM

Treat yourself with a moisturising manicure.

Ingredients

Two teaspoons of shea butter Two teaspoons of beeswax One teaspoon of sweet almond oil

15 drops of lavender essential oil

Method

Prepare a double boiler—fill half a pot with water and once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and fit a smaller bowl inside it. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, add shea butter, beeswax, and sweet almond oil, and mix well.

Pour the mixture in the boiler and keep stirring till it melts completely.

Remove it from the heat and mix the lavender essential oil in it.

Let it cool for 15 minutes. Give it a stir once more and pour the liquid into a small glass jar.

Allow it to harden at room temperature (this could take a few hours).

Apply this nourishing hand cream thoroughly after using a good hand scrub.

Rich with vitamins and nourishing agents, this hand cream will soothe your skin and leave your hands soft and supple.
