After a day preparing – okay, helping – a holiday feast my hands are dry, dry, dry. Instead of applying lotion all evening, I simply slather them in Castor oil – a natural emollient that penetrates the surface layers of the skin – then put on a pair of cloth gloves. After a couple of hours, my hands are like new…. well, almost. Great for those dry elbows too. I also put it in my bath along with Epson Salts and lavender oil to sooth my muscles and skin. So Suzy Says.
