Homemade Lotion Recipes
Make your own natural skin moisturizers...
the perfect marriage of essential oils and skin care!
Making your own natural skin moisturizers is a wonderful way to take care of yourself, save money and have fun all at the same time.
These healthy homemade lotion recipes use all-natural ingredients to nourish, support and heal your skin.
(If your skin is dry or troubled, check out the lotion bar recipes - they're super-nourishing!)
Use them every day and watch your skin become clearer, brighter and healthier as you break away from harmful synthetic products.
Not to mention the side benefits of lifting your mood, calming your nerves and strengthening your immune system -
all thanks to the healing effects of essential oils and skin care.
Lotion Quick Trick
Get a really good unscented body lotion.
Add 10 to 30 drops of your favorite essential oil or essential oil blend for every 8oz (250ml) of lotion. Some of my favorites are:
Relaxing Woodsy: 16 drops Sandalwood, 8 drops Lavender, 6 drops Cedar
Relaxing Floral: 14 drops Frankincense, 10 drops Lavender, 6 drops Rosewood
To Die For Chocolate: 30 drops Cocoa Absolute (This one doesn't need anything else! Oh yeah, and it also works with Vanilla Absolute- Yummmm!)
Why Make Your Own Homemade Lotion Recipes?
There's so much junk in most commercial skincare products.
The great thing about making your own natural skin moisturizers is that you decide exactly what goes into them.
And you can easily create your own formulations to support your specific skin type or skin problem (such as eczema or acne) by customizing your blend of
carrier oils, essential oils and other ingredients.
For example, vegetable glycerin is good for dry skin because it's a humectant (attracts moisture.)
And witch hazel is good for oily skin because it helps reduce oil production.

Did you know... About 60 percent
of what you rub onto your skin is absorbed into your body? Think of how good (or BAD!) that could be for you!
Try making your own natural skin moisturizers using the homemade lotion recipes below - it's a lot of fun, fairly simple and very rewarding.
After you make your first batch, I bet you'll never go back to store lotions again!
