Almonds are another ingredient that you can add to your home made lotions. Almonds that are chopped and finely pureed will add a scent to your lotion that you will love, as well as adding additional healing ingredients for your skin and body. In some retail outlets you will find almond extracts, almond oils and almond creams that you can easily add to your lotion while realizing the natural ingredients of the almond in your lotion. 

If you would like to add honey to your homemade hand lotion, what you are going to do is heat the honey until near boiling, let it cool, and then add to your lotion mixture.

You only need a few drops of either of these components to create the hand lotion that will make your roughest hands soft and supple without upping the price of making your own homemade hand lotion.
