How to Make a Hand Moisturizing Cream

This natural hand moisturizing cream helps to moisturize the skin and helps protect the skin from the elements and harsh weather. I suggest using this hand moisturizing cream in replace of your regular hand cream. This hand moisturizing cream should be used in the morning and evening. However, if you suffer from severely dry skin on the hands you can use this hand moisturizing cream throughout the day as needed.

1. In a small sauceman, bring the water to a heavy boil them remove from the heat. Pour in the apricots, then put to the side.

2. In a double broiler, set to low heat, add in the beeswax, apricot oil and coconut oil. Stir the mixture together gently as it warms, and remove from the heat once the beeswax has melted.

3. Puree the apricots and water, then strain the mixture into a medium mixing bowl. Add in the aloe vera gel and vitamin E oil and stir together gently.
