Here is a great hand body lotion to make. I make up a big batch every Christmas for guild members. I buy pretty little tins/jars and everyone loves it. I use it at night and my skin is never dry, not even my feet.


All ingredients are Dollar Store General Brand. You may find the vitamin E cream and Vaseline in smaller jars but use 16oz each.
The clean up is quick and not messy.


Bottle of Baby Lotion (16 ounces)
Jar of Vitamin E Cream (16 ounces)
Jar of Vaseline (16 ounces)

Mix all together with mixer until light and creamy and put in containers.

Love this idea. Could you use those cute little quilted jelly jars?

Ooooh, my favorite - especially the peach. They have a kit they call Satin Hands. Works wonderful and smells so good, but you want to do that before you go to bed at night because it will leave a film on your hands.

I put CVS hand cream on most nights before going to bed and do the Satin Hands every once in a while because it's expensive.

it's thick enough to put in jars. I save the round jelly jars during the year. I buy food that come in jars by the prettiness of the jar. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I love the idea of making my own. Might even try the lavendar baby lotion

Out here where our average relative humidity is about 15% or less, the favored hand lotion in our neighborhood is Cetaphil. We get it at Costco. It really penetrates well but isn't greasy.

If you want something that is ultra-moisturizing, but sort of vaseline-like, Aquaphor is what my dermatologist recommends. It sorta stays on your hands for quite a while though.

When taking a class from Harriet Hargrave she said how she uses Neutrogena hand cream as it didn't mar her quilts as she did her sewing machine quilting.

I love it and it has lasted longer that some less expensive hand creams.

LOL :lol: :lol: I buy anything by the prettiness and/or shape of the jars... Thanks, it was a great comment. I am so glad to see I am not the only one that does this type of shopping.
