You’ll instantly feel chic for saving money, and doing your body good!
Nutty Nail Strengthening Scrub
Grind walnuts in a food processor until they resemble a coarse powder. Carefully open vitamin E capsules and pour into walnut powder. Add in oil and honey. Stir to mix well. Rub mixture over hands and nails. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Moisturize with the homemade hand lotion below.
Tip: You can use 1 teaspoon of pure vitamin E oil instead of the capsule form.
Hydrating Hand Cream
Tip: For a more fragrant lotion, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil when you add the other oils. Pure rose oil would complement this recipe well.
Leave-In Lemon Hair Conditioner
Simple Skin Serum
Tip: Store serum in a dark container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Vitamin C oxidizes quickly, so it’s best to make this serum in small batches.
