it can irritate.

feet to whiten discoulored skin and heal sore, hard patches. Leave for five
minutes, then rinse off.

3) Orris and oatmeal powder. Mix together 8 tablespoons of very finely
ground oatmeal and 2 tablespoons of orris root powder. Pass them through a
fine sieve. Keep in a tightly sealed pot and use inside rubber gloves and
Wellington boots to prevent excess perspiration.

4) Olive oil massage cream. Melt together 2 tablespoons each of olive
oiland anhydrous lanolin in a bainmarie. Remove from the heat and beat
constantly until the mixture cools. Pot and seal. Use nightly to alleviate
dry and flaking skin on hands, feet arms and legs. Posted to MCRecipe
