We bombard ourselves daily with chemicals and synthetics without even thinking about it. We use parabens and synthetics on our skin. Let’s worship our temples and do something good for it!
What if I told you it was cheaper and more simple to make your own? What if I told you that simplifying things would de stress your life?
Well I believe it to be true! Everyday, I use handmade lotion on my skin. It takes about 10minutes to make a batch. Usually when I make it, I just incorporate it into a meal time cooking session in my kitchen. If you can boil water, you can make lotion. I’ve attached links for easy ordering. Get everything you need and be ready to create!
I also make my own deodorant. So simple. Just a few drops of essential oil is all you need.
I make my own olive oil based cleanser, with essential oils. My skin is brighter and healthier than it ever has been.
I use immortelle essential oil blend under my eyes to reduce dark circles.
Mind you everything about all of the things I just mentioned above are ALL NATURAL! Mind blown!
These items are SO easy to make! Or if it all sounds like too much, you can purchase them from my Etsy store.

Combine
8 TBS Organic Coconut Oil Order here
3 TBS Beeswax (I like the pellets they are easier to measure and melt) Order here
2 TBS Cocoa Butter Order here
20 drops of your favorite essential oil (avoid citrus oils and wait to add until
the end)
Heat water in the pot to simmer, add ingredients into mason jar and set in pot with water. Stir with popsicle stick until completely melted. Take carefully out of the water and let sit for about 5 minutes, then stir in the essential oil and let cool. (It takes a few hours to finish cooling.). This is a good “summer blend” as the weather gets cooler the amount of beeswax can be reduced to 2 TBS to allow for a softer lotion. The coconut oil melts at 76 degrees Fahrenheit and will harden up in the winter so less beeswax is needed.
