Epsom Salt Vanilla Mint Hand Scrub

Did you try some of the Brown Sugar Epsom Salt Body Scrub I made?  Well here is another recipe to keep in the kitchen to make your hands extra soft and smooth.  The ingredients are simple, it smells good and most importantly it works!

What you need:
Heaping 1/4 cup of Epsom Salt
1/8 cup of Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon dried or fresh mint (finely chopped if fresh, mine was dried)

Mix your ingredients together and enjoy.  I like to use mine after I'm done doing the dishes.  I like to rub it all over my hands and massage each palm and fingers, then rinse well in warm water.  It takes about 2 minutes total but its a great way to sneak in some pampering and do something nice for yourself.  The great thing about the olive oil is that it doesn't leave an oily residue like the Brown Sugar Scrub which works fine on your body but you don't really want on your hands.  My hands work hard crafting, baking and cleaning which can leave them looking not so elegant.  This restores them and helps me look fabulous, even if its just a trip to Target.
