DIY Winter Skin Creams

 DIY Winter Skin Creams recipes 

Today in my kitchen I am making a couple of batches of skin lotions. My hubby and son have extremally dry skin and this works wonders in the cold dry winters. 

• 3 ounces cold-pressed, unrefined coconut oil
• 15–20 drops lavender essential oil
• 1 ounce shea butter
• 1 ounce jojoba oil
• ½ teaspoon vitamin E oil
• Place ingredients into a mixing bowl. Blend all ingredients using a hand mixer until it is whipped to a light and fluffy consistency.
• Place in glass jar with lid and apply once or twice a day to the skin. If possible, apply to the skin while it is damp to help seal in moisture.

• Hand Lotion for dry skin 

• ¼ cup coconut oil, virgin unrefined
• ¼ cup shea butter
• 6 drops lavender essential oil
• ⅛ teaspoon vitamin E oil
• 6 drops cedarwood essential oil

1. In a small bowl combine ¼ cup of coconut oil, ¼ cup of shea butter, and ⅛ teaspoon of vitamin E oil. Using a hand mixer whip ingredients together for 2 to 3 minutes. 
2. Next, add 6 drops each of lavender and cedarwood essential oils. 
3. Whip once more with the hand mixer until you have a creamy consistency. Scoop the hand cream into an airtight container.
