Many years back, I discovered out how extraordinary easy it is to make lotion. It is so inexpensive and natural that I wondered why anybody would even consider spending a dime on the chemical rich lotions on the market.

Besides I had an added incentive, I have eczema, so I am extremely sensitive to what I place on my pores and skin. Generating my personal lotion was a great option for me.

To begin, for a lotion base all you require is h2o, oil and an emulsifier. An emulsifier is merely an ingredient that blends the h2o and oil together. Here is the base that I begin with to make my lotion:

½ cup distilled h2o ½ cup oil (I usually use olive, almond, macadamia nut, or grape seed) 1 TBS liquid lecithin

You can experiment from right here by adding important oils, combining other oils you can steep helpful herbs into your h2o prior to you include your oil, etc?

Here is a nice winter lotion to get you began:

½ cup distilled h2o ½ cup olive oil 1 TBS lecithin 6-8 drops of geranium oil 2-four drops Myrrh oil 400 IU Vitamin E oil (1-2 open capsules)

Geranium oil is great for supporting balance and rejuvenating dry pores and skin conditions and for wrinkled and matured pores and skin. Myrrh is a gentle oil that is effective in replenishing moisture.

Vitamin E oil is an superb antioxidant and helps to safeguard the pores and skin as well as a nice preservative.

Blend all components in the blender both on whip or cream. You will have a nice creamy firm lotion. Add much more h2o to make a lighter lotion. Store in the refrigerator in scorching climates or store in a cool place. Shake well prior to use.

Enjoy your lotion. Hopefully this small recipe will inspire you to turn out to be creative.
