During the hustle of the holidays, we often neglect the very hands by which we work. Revitalize chapped winter fingertips with this easy Rose Geranium and Bergamot Cuticle Balm.
Vitamin E, rice bran, and jojoba nourish and hydrate while lanolin and beeswax protect the nail bed from further damage. Also works great on the driest areas of the body, such as the elbows and bottom of the feet.
This recipe may easily be doubled or tripled and dispensed into multiple tins as thoughtful holiday favours.
