How to make body butter/oil so your skin won’t be dry this winter
Day light saving was ages ago
That means it’s definitely winter now.
And our skin tends to get drier when it’s cold
Besides, why not?
It’s always a good time to indulge yourself.
So I think it’s a great time
to make a body butter
So, all you need is:
Coconut oil – available in every supermarket today
Olive oil or almond oil
Few drops of your favorite essential oil
Mix 2 parts coconut oil with 1 part Olive oil or sweet almond oil (almond oil has no smell so it is better if you don’t like the olive smell)
Better to heat the coconut oil a bit first, just put it in the hot water cupboard overnight or gently of the stove top, just until it’s a bit tender.
Add a few drops essential oil depends how strong do you want it, I think 10 drops are enough for 100gr)
Start mixing with a spoon and then
use an electric beater, like you make whipped cream.
5-7 minutes and you’re done
It might be a bit liquidy at the start of winter the thicken when we go deeper into it.
put in a jar and enjoy
I like for body butter to use Neroli – Vanilla blend
Ylang – Ylang alone is also good
But if you want to for a congestion balm for the winter
you can put Eucalyptus – Peppermint – Lavender
To warm up your feet use some Cinnamon Leaf
So start experimenting and enjoy
