- 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar (or brown sugar for gentler action)
- 1-2 tablespoons of a natural oil (coconut or olive works well)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon of aloe vera or honey for added soothing
Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the oil until it forms a spreadable paste.
- Adjust the ratio—if your hands and arms feel very dry, add more oil for richer moisture.
- Stir in any optional ingredients for enhanced nourishment.
