Anyone struggling with cracked skin on their hands who wants to try a natural home remedy instead of store-bought creams should try apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Here is a guide:
Olive oil and apple cider vinegar for cracked hands
What you’ll need:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Bowl
Instructions:
Mix equal parts olive oil and apple cider vinegar in a bowl and your homemade skin oil is ready. Apply this mixture to your hands after every wash. Also, rub it into your hands every evening before going to bed and let it soak in overnight (it is best to wear thin cotton gloves to avoid getting oil on your bedding!). With regular use, your hands will become smooth and supple again.
Extra tip: This oil can also be used for body care.
