Are you plagued by dry skin in the winter?
Our heater has been running so much this week, and we do run a humidifier, that my skin just dries out!
My DH laughs at me because I call this concoction 'Wonder Cream'- it feels wonderful!! LOL
My Mom and I both mixed up half batches many years ago and I came across my little recipe the other day, so had to make more.
It is really easy, and so soothing!
In this case your local dollar store is your friend!
I used~
2- 15oz bottles of baby lotion
(you could go to a drug store or Wal-Mart and get an unscented version if the scent bothers you)
2- 8 oz containers Vitamin E cream
(I had a hard time finding this, so went to Rite Aid and got 4- 4oz containers; it was on sale so win-win. Later I discovered Wal-Mart has a less costly version.)
1- 7.5 oz petroleum jelly
(you just have to trust me with this one LOL)
I use a glass mixing bowl, put it all in and used my mixer to whip it all together well.
Then I put it back into the Vit E containers, the petroleum jelly container, and a bunch of smaller containers. :-)
As you can see~ it makes a lot!
I gave away one of the red top containers, a little square one, and one of the Vit E containers before I thought to take the photo. :-)
I have been putting it on my feet at night and wearing my fuzzy socks. Elbows, hands, it works well every where, and after a few minutes it seems to just soak in. I love this stuff! Hubby even took a container to put on his cuticles at night. ;-)
If you try it, let me know what you think~
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

I may have to try this because I have such dry winter skin too. Thanks for sharing!
I'll bet it smells as good as it works with the baby lotion.
