Years ago I activate out how absurd accessible it is to accomplish lotion. It is so bargain and amoebic that I wondered why anyone would alike accede spending a dime on the actinic affluent lotions on the market.
Besides I had an added incentive, I accept eczema, so I am acutely acute to what I put on my skin. Making my own balm was a abundant another for me.
To begin, for a balm abject all you charge is water, oil and an emulsifier. An emulsifier is artlessly an additive that blends the baptize and oil together. Actuality is the abject that I activate with to accomplish my lotion:
½ cup distilled baptize
½ cup oil (I usually use olive, almond, macadamia nut, or grape seed)
1 TBS aqueous lecithin
/
You can agreement from actuality by abacus capital oils, accumulation added oils; you can abrupt benign herbs into your baptize afore you add your oil, etc. . .
Here is a nice winter balm to get you started:
½ cup distilled baptize
½ cup olive oil
1 TBS lecithin
6-8 drops of bittersweet oil
2-4 drops Myrrh oil
400 IU Vitamin E oil (1-2 accessible capsules)
Geranium oil is acceptable for acknowledging antithesis and ambulatory dry bark altitude and for channelled and accomplished skin.
Myrrh is a affable oil that is able in replenishing moisture.
Vitamin E oil is an accomplished antioxidant and helps to assure the bark as able-bodied as a nice preservative.
Blend all capacity in the blender either on whip or cream. You will accept a nice buttery close lotion. Add added baptize to accomplish a lighter lotion. Abundance in the refrigerator in hot climates or abundance in a air-conditioned place. Shake able-bodied afore use.
Enjoy your lotion. Hopefully this little compound will affect you to become creative!
