I made these dry skin/dry heel sticks over the weekend. My skin was dry and I wanted to make a little something extra for the swap that I was in. I've held onto the box for a long time (considering my first few posts on the honey almond cream!) These sticks are perfect for heels, elbows, knees, knuckles and other spots that get a little dry or cracked in the winter. The essential oil blend is lavender, mint and tea tree. As an added bonus, I've used organic tamanu oil, a "miracle" oil (click on the link to read more about it), and is known for its skin smoothing and softening properties. Now, in our litigious society, I need to make a disclaimer - I'm not medically claiming that this stick does anything, but it does contain tamanu oil which has healing properties. Tamanu has a spicy, nutty aroma which still comes through a little but has been slightly muted by the essential oil blend. I hope the recipients enjoy this skin treat as much as I do. Yes, I'm a messy pourer. LRK, does the tray look familiar?
