For a Softener

• 1/2 lime or lemon
• palmful of sugar or salt

Mix the two ingredients in hands.  Apply mixture to any rough skin, and rub thoroughly.  Rinse.

**Note: The lime-sugar mix tastes excellent. :P **

This recipe for a hand softener does work.  My mother thinks it makes her hands look years younger, but I just think that that's the lotion she's been using.
