     Excerpted from Natural Hand Care by Norma P. Weinberg

Pineapple contains two helpful ingredients: bromelain, an enzyme that can reduce inflammation and pain, and alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), which aid in sloughing dead skin cells. Yogurt is nourishing and a natural healer.

Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon (5 ml) olive oil
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) pineapple juice, fresh or canned
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) plain organic yogurt, regular or nonfat

To make:
1. Measure each ingredient and add to bowl.
2. Whip mixture with a fork until blended and creamy.

To use:
1. Dip fingers in a low-edged bowl and relax, allowing each hand to sit in the mixture for five minutes.
2. Massage both hands and fingers with the pineapple-yogurt mixture. Leave on skin for a few more minutes. Then rinse in warm water and pat dry. Use a fresh batch each time you do a manicure.
