Get ready for a game changer with this Honey and Rose Milk Hand Soak. I am terrible to my hands and trust met they are letting me know it. The cold weather, hand sanitizer and a ridiculous amount of washing has them really dried out right now. To combat this, I formulated a skin loving hand soak. Just a few minute soak followed with a moisturizer makes all the difference.

Rose Milk Hand Soak Ingredients
Buttermilk Powder
Buttermilk powder has been reported to have skin softening and hydrating benefits. Since buttermilk is rich in lactic acid it can help with gently removing dead skin cells.
Colloidal Oatmeal
Colloidal oatmeal is made by grinding oat grain until it is a very fine powder. It is an emollient that softens and soothes our skin. It is often used for dry and itchy skin relief.
Pink Himalayan Salt
The pink Himalayan salt leaves skin feeling super soft and smooth. It is said that the salt minerals help with maintaining our natural skin barrier to keep out irritants and support hydration. The salt is also good with relieving sore muscles.
Oatmeal Milk and Honey Fragrance Oil
This Oatmeal Milk and Honey fragrance may not be necessary, but I really feel like the smell is just so fitting and it adds the wow factor to this hand soak. Seriously, how does it make oatmeal smell so good? I also think the fragrance makes the hand soak more relaxing.
An alternative if you didn’t want to add fragrance would be rose petal powder. That would make it really smell of roses. The only down side is that it will change the color from white to like a deep pink color.
Rose Petals
The rose petals in this hand soak are completely optional, but I feel like they really take it up to the next level. However, if you wind up using this in the bath, you might want to put the rose petals in a mesh bag.
