diy hand lotion instructions
There are so many benefits to gardening–the fresh, healthy produce and beautiful flowers, of course. And then there’s the vitamin D from time spent outdoors, plus more health benefits than you might think. Gardening can be a terrific workout, boost your immune system, relieve stress, and even cut the risk of Alzheimer’s! So, if you’re not gardening, you might want to start. 

Getting down in the dirt with your bare hands is definitely good for you, but it may be a little rough on your hands, so we want to share this recipe for a soothing gardener’s hand lotion. It’s perfect for dry hands, and is perfect to use in the winter too when our hands always need extra moisture.

Gardener’s Hand Lotion
