Winter and dryness can be best friends... if you're not diligent about your skin care routine. Worst of all, we tend to neglect the one place we need moisturization the most: our hands.

If you are one of those people that tend to forget to pick up a good hand treatment in the store, then SHEfinds has got your back (or hands for that matter). Here are some remedies that you can create yourself in the comfort of your home without having to make a trip to the drugstore.
Olive oil and sugar
You can create your own scrub by mixing a tablespoon of sugar with a tablespoon of olive oil. The sugar is the perfect exfoliant to help get rid of dead, dry skin and the olive oil moisturizes the new skin ready to appear.
Honey
Honey is the ultimate ingredient for skin health. Slather it all over your hands to get a full antioxidant-rich treatment. Wash it off and your hands will be good as new.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is a miracle plant. It will help heal all the cracks in your skin and assist in producing brand, new skin cells. If you have an aloe vera plant, cut it open, scrape the gel out and apply it all over your hands. Leave the gel on for 20 minutes, then rinse off and moisturize to lock in the benefits of the aloe.
