You may find yourself washing your hands more frequently than normal these days, which is fantastic for removing germs and pollutants but not so great for sensitive skin. Even if you don’t generally have eczema or dry skin, you may have noticed an increase in dryness in your hands that makes them feel leathery, scratchy, or just not nice.  And, because our hands do so much during the day, it’s only right that we lend them a helping hand and show them some love in the form of all-natural, DIY homemade hand creams.

Benefits Of Homemade Hand Cream

Hand creams are widely accessible, but many of them include chemicals that may cause long-term harm to your skin. They are laden with chemicals and can do more damage than good to your skin.

  • Soft and Nice Smelling Hands

Homemade hand creams soften the skin, cuticles, and nails by including hydrating ingredients. The aroma is, of course, one of the most appealing aspects of using homemade hand cream. Choosing a unique smell that complements your style may bring a subtle touch of magic to your day and the lives of the people you interact with.

  • Keeps Hands Clean

Germs (via the air) begin to grow shortly after we dry our soapy hands, even though we can’t see them with our naked eyes. Homemade h and cream application is quite sanitary. It includes antibacterial compounds that prevent germs from entering your skin through the air.

  • Reduce Fine Line

Because there are fewer sebaceous glands on the tops of our hands, it dries faster. Furthermore, they are frequently over-exposed to a variety of environmental stressors, such as the sun, water, dryness, pollution, and so on. They experience early indications of ageing, such as pigmentation, wrinkles, and skin thinning, as a result of these circumstances. Homemade hand creams can slow down this process and reduce the signs of ageing.

  • Nourish Your Cuticles

While you’re at it, add some homemade hand cream to your nails as well. They are particularly vulnerable to infection and injury. By massaging the cream into your fingertips, you can keep your nails and cuticles healthy, moisturised, and free of dirt and bacteria.

  • Repair Damage Skin

Cleaning and washing your hands regularly dries out your hands, and in severe situations, the skin may split and develop rashes as a result of the loss of natural oils and moisture. While many of us use a daily moisturiser or body lotion to care for our hands, this is insufficient. Homemade hand creams have a thicker viscosity and are formulated to be ultra-hydrating.

Notes:

Why use Shea butter? 

Shea butter is well-known for its skin-moisturizing and nourishing properties. You may also use 1/8 cup cocoa butter or coconut oil in place of half of the shea butter.

Why use sweet almond oil?

Sweet almond oil is an excellent moisturiser with vitamins that nourish and soothe the skin. If you don’t have sweet almond oil, you can use jojoba oil, olive oil, or anything similar.

Why use beeswax?

The beeswax in this recipe aids in the setting and firmness of the hand cream. It also protects and coats the skin. Reduce the amount of beeswax in your homemade hand cream if you want a softer texture. Increase the quantity of beeswax if you want it stiffer. For this recipe, we suggest using little beeswax pellets since they are easier to melt and measure.

Why use myrrh essential oil and cedarwood essential oils?

These two essential oils are well-known for their skin-soothing and nourishing properties. However, there are a variety of different essential oils that perform well in skincare, so feel free to experiment. Lavender, geranium, frankincense, and sandalwood are some of our other recommendations.

The completed product has an earthy, woodsy scent, which we adore, if you use the essential oils we stated in the recipe. Adding 2-3 drops of lavender essential oil to the mix will give it a more feminine smell.

In the summer, if your residence is too hot, this hand butter may get runny. If this is an issue, you can store it in the refrigerator.

Before going to bed, apply this hand cream. This allows the butter to absorb into the skin.
