DIY Hand Cream for dry hands

This easy DIY Hand Cream is super moisturizing and ideal for dry or cracked skin. My secret ingredient is lanolin which makes this hand cream perfect for hard-working hands, especially during the winter.

Thank you for this video. I also get very bad cracking and bleeding during the cold winter months, mostly because I wash my hands all the time-- about 20-30 times a day (I work with yarns so I have to keep my hands very clean). I've learned to keep a good hand cream by the sink and make a habit of putting it on my hands every time I wash them. I find this makes all the difference.

[@heatherinparis]

When I was very very young my mother used to use lanolin cream on a fine-toothed comb to remove dandruff from my then very long hair. I've never forgotten the jar with a wine-coloured lid it came in or the SMELL of the lanolin! Watching you make this product brought back strong memories :)

[@OurGabledHome]

That is such a neat story, Heather! Thank you so much for sharing 💛 ~ Anja

[@zheynyatrifonova]

Grazie mille!💕

[@nybsbfan18]

I just subbed. I can't wait to try.

[@the.virtuous.daughter]

This looks lovely! My hands need this too! I'll have to order some lanolin. 🥰

Hi Lourdes, I am so glad you like this hand cream! It sure is very decadent and moisturizing 💛 ~ Anja

[@RoseCottageColleen]

Thank you for telling us about the Plant Therapy oils. I love them. I live in the northeast so winter is tough on the skin. This looks like a great fix. Love your channel!

Hi Colleen, I am so glad you enjoyed this video, recipe, and PT essential oils! This hand cream is the real deal for hardworking hands 💛 ~ Anja

So happy to see this video Anja Thank you! It is cold and my hands need some deep penetrating moisture I was also interested to read about the lanolin for hair

Looks like a great recipe for hand cream. That's exactly what I needed!❤

@@OurGabledHome I like to make my own lotions etc. So simple & you can control the ingredients

[@Audrey-km9in]

Thank you so very much! My hands are often like velcro, feel awful, and look less than attractive. I look forward to making your DIY hand cream. xo

[@OurGabledHome]

Yes, my hands get dry and cracked all the time, too. This will help as well as my most recent balm: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXO7p6SJot-qm5I 😊 ~ Anja

[@OurGabledHome]

Hi Leslie, it sounds like your hands need a lot of TLC! I hope this hand cream will help - keep me posted 💛 ~ Anja

[@nv6679]

I use lanolin as a lip moisturizer. I buy the nipple cream at the pharmacy or Walmart (baby section). Works wonderfully!

[@OurGabledHome]

Yes, it's very moisturizing 😊 ~ Anja

[@mariannebrown6652]

Great recipe- when I raised sheep I used to run my fingers through their wool - my hands loved it. Do you have a recipe for a face cream that doesn’t feel heavy in the skin? I’m looking to replace the commercial brands with my own homemade

[@OurGabledHome]

Hi Marianne, I know exactly what you're talking about running your hands through sheep wool! Have you tried this face serum: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIvCm2d_f8-Hfck ? Happy making 😊 ~ Anja

[@Susan.I]

I really need this as I have psoriasis!

[@OurGabledHome]

Hi Linda, yes, lanolin can really help with psoriasis 💛 ~ Anja

[@patriciaredick9849]

This looks great, and I'm sure smells wonderful too. I remember my Grandmother used to put Lanolin in our hair when we were little girls. I will definitely get these ingredients together and make up a batch. Thank you Anja.

[@OurGabledHome]

Thank you, Patricia! I never knew about using lanolin on hair. I am so glad you shared that 💛 ~ Anja

[@iloveharrold]

Did she wash it out afterwards or did she just leave it in?

[@TheFunctionalForce]

Like you, I LOVE the smell of lanolin :) I have a big pot that I use pure for everything but especially for my lips. It’s the best (and only that works!) lip salve EVER! :) We are traveling on Saturday so I don’t have time to get shea butter (I just finished mine making a magnesium lotion), but will try to make it using coconut oil instead (although it’s never as emollient as shea!) 💛🌞🌊 Danke, Anja!

[@OurGabledHome]

Yes! I hadn't thought of using this cream for my lips, just tried it last night and loved it. Thank you so much for sharing 💖 💛 💖 ~ Anja

[@TheFunctionalForce]

@@OurGabledHome it’s amazing isn’t it? :) So I ended up making your salve and used a bit of Skin Food by Weleda I had leftover instead of the shea. It worked! I also used some olive oil to thin it out a bit. Super nourishing! And solid at room temp. So it was easy to travel with. Danke Anja! 💛🌞🌊

[@OurGabledHome]

@@TheFunctionalForce that sounds great - and I love your creativity, sister! Happy traveling und gute Reise 🥰 ~ Anja

[@faithreyes8797]

By the way when I was nursing my first baby she didn’t know how to latch properly which left me with bleeding nipples. Lanolin was so soothing!!!

[@OurGabledHome]

Yes, very healing - and thank you for sharing 😊 ~ Anja

[@Susan.I]

Having psoriatic Arthritis, my hands are very dry. I’d like to make this for my hands and feet!

Nice! Hope you'll like this cream as much as I do 😊 ~ Anja

This looks like it would be fun to make! Thank you for sharing. Do you happened to have an ETSY shop? I love your aprons as well but I don’t sew😔

[@OurGabledHome]

Hi Ginger, I am so glad you like this cream! An Etsy shop sounds great but would require more time than I could dedicate right now 😌 ~ Anja

Hallo Anja, bei der Suche nach einer speziellen Handcreme für die supertrockene Hände meines Schwiegersohns, bin ich auf dein tolles Video gestoßen. jetzt habe ich aber doch noch eine Frage: zieht die Creme schnell ein? Ich werde es jetzt einfach mal testen und dann deinen Kanal nach weiteren DIY's durchstöbern... danke für das Rezept :)

[@OurGabledHome]

Freut mich, daß Dir das Video gefallen hat! Ich reibe die Creme immer eine Weile ein. Cremes, die gut einziehen, haben oft einen hohen Wassergehalt. Hoffe, das hilft und viel Spaß beim Machen 😊 ~ Anja

[@TanjaDiRomualdo]

@@OurGabledHome vielen lieben Dank für Deine Antwort. ich habe sie jetzt mit pflanzlichen Lanolin-Ersatz Softlane gemacht. Für mich persönlich ist sie etwas zu lange leicht klebrig, werde sie aber dann meinem Schwiegersohn geben und er muss sie dann über Nacht austesten😁 Vllt liegt es ja auch an dem Softlane🤷‍♀? Jedenfalls liebe Grüße Tanja aus dem Schwabenländle👋

[@sanghamitrasahoo3372]

Accidentally I come across your channel. I don't know what is your age but let me tell you u r beautiful.l love you. From India.

[@OurGabledHome]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment 😊 ~ Anja

[@nancymorrow9389]

I don't know if true or not i was always told lanolin also heals . It always made sense to me because of shearing sheep at times they are accidentally nicked and they heal so quickly

[@OurGabledHome]

Hi Nancy, I am not sure if lanolin on its own is healing but it is for sure ultra-hydrating 💛 ~ Anja

[@shervin6711]

Is there anything I could substitute for the lanolin? There may be wool allergies in our family.

[@OurGabledHome]

Hi Sher, yes, I mentioned a few substitutes in my corresponding blog post: you could just make it all shea butter and/or use cacao butter 💛 Anja

[@salimakhan4555]

When making the tallow whipped cream can I use any other oil than jojoba oil?

[@OurGabledHome]

Yes, you can 👍 ~ Anja

[@northernexpanse_art7213]

Thanks for sharing your recipe. You say that you apply the cream at bedtime. Do you do this because this is a greasy cream?

[@OurGabledHome]

Yes, I apply the hand cream at night because it will have the longest time so soak in and do its job but you can really apply it at any time during the day your hands need some TLC 💛 ~ Anja

[@mihaelakloss8875]

Hi, can you please tell me the recipe in grams(lanolin,shea butter) Thank you!

[@OurGabledHome]

¼ c shea butter is about 53 grams and ½ c shea butter is about 110 grams. It doesn't need to be super exact - and depends on how firm or soft you like your hand cream ~ Anja

[@amsohn1]

Thanks so much, how long will this lotion store at room temperature?

[@OurGabledHome]

It should last at least 3 months (but I have had it last longer than that). Hope this helps 😊 ~ Anja

[@amsohn1]

@Our Gabled Home thanks so much Anja Blessings

[@maameaba6695]

Can you add water to it to make a cream? Please

[@OurGabledHome]

You probably can but then you need to either blend it well or add an emulsifier 😊 ~ Anja

[@fatimahabdullahi3970]

Can I add baby oil instead of jojoba oil to make it less thick?

[@OurGabledHome]

Yes or you can just add more oil in general to thin it down a bit ~ Anja

Does this leave your hand greasy?

[@OurGabledHome]

I will say yes but I find that with a bit of massaging and rubbing (especially if your skin is still slightly moist from washing), it goes away pretty quickly 😊 ~ Anja
