My recent travels left me a bit dehydrated, so yesterday I experimented with a common online DIY Moisturizing Cream recipe I’ve been using for about a year now to customize it to better “treat” my aging, drying skin. The only ingredient in mine that was in the original is Family Dollar Tree’s Vitamin E Cream. I loved the result—-a faster absorption rate and longer lasting “skin hydration.” In fact, I am so excited about the results that I wanted to share the recipe in my blog. The original recipe can be found at: http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/non-editible/beauty-recipe/dry-skin-cream-2.html
Anyway, for my readers who might be interested, here is the recipe I made:

I think you’ll like it! It was good before, but, for me,
it is better now that I’ve “remodeled it.”
Thanks! Looking forward to trying it. I’m not aging but becoming medieval vellum–need all the preservation techniques available.
Hope you like it—-I find myself slathering it on after every shower all over my bod. It feels good, seems to hydrate well, last relatively long, and—-best of all—-is really cheap.
