Here is a great hand body lotion to make. I make up a big batch every Christmas for guild members. I buy pretty little tins/jars and everyone loves it. I use it at night and my skin is never dry, not even my feet.
All ingredients are Dollar Store General Brand. You may find the vitamin E cream and Vaseline in smaller jars but use 16oz each.
The clean up is quick and not messy.
Bottle of Baby Lotion (16 ounces)
Jar of Vitamin E Cream (16 ounces)
Jar of Vaseline (16 ounces)
Mix all together with mixer until light and creamy and put in containers.

I put CVS hand cream on most nights before going to bed and do the Satin Hands every once in a while because it's expensive.

Love this idea. Could you use those cute little quilted jelly jars?
it's thick enough to put in jars. I save the round jelly jars during the year. I buy food that come in jars by the prettiness of the jar. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Out here where our average relative humidity is about 15% or less, the favored hand lotion in our neighborhood is Cetaphil. We get it at Costco. It really penetrates well but isn't greasy.
If you want something that is ultra-moisturizing, but sort of vaseline-like, Aquaphor is what my dermatologist recommends. It sorta stays on your hands for quite a while though.

When taking a class from Harriet Hargrave she said how she uses Neutrogena hand cream as it didn't mar her quilts as she did her sewing machine quilting.
I love it and it has lasted longer that some less expensive hand creams.
