Almond Joy Body Lotion - A Body Lotion Recipe.
This almond body lotion recipe will relieve even the driest skin.
1/2 cup water
1/8 tsp. borax powder
1/2 cup almond oil
1 tsp. coconut oil
1 tsp. grated beeswax
2 Tbsp. honey
3-4 drops orange Essential Oil (optional)
To Make This Body Lotion Recipe:
Mix water and borax together, stirring until well mixed. Set aside. Mix together
the almond oil, coconut oil, honey, and beeswax in a glass measuring cup. Place
the cup with the oils-beeswax mixture in a pan of water (about 1 to 2" of
water), making a water bath. Heat over medium heat until the beeswax is melted
(8 to 10 min.), stirring occasionally. When the wax is melted, bring the
water/borax solution almost to boiling (put the glass cup with the water/borax
in the microwave on High for 1 min., or use a water bath on the stove top).
Remove the oil-beeswax mixture from the water bath and pour into blender. Slowly
add water/borax to the mixture in the blender and whip. Allow the lotion to cool
completely. The consistency may seem a bit thin, but it will thicken as it
cools. You may add the orange Essential Oil now if you wish. Pour into a lidded
container. To use: massage a small amount into your skin.
This body lotion recipe leaves your skin
feeling and looking radiant. The Almond Joy Body Lotion
feels silky-smooth and smells terrific. This body lotion is a lavish and invigorating way
to treat your skin.
It is easy to make an affordable, skin nourishing and pampering bath and body
product. Feel free to substitute or add other essential oils to personalize your
body lotion recipe. The recipe can be left without fragrance
or essential oils can be added for therapeutic benefit.
Creams and lotions are made by combining
oil-based, which provide nourishing properties, and water-based
ingredients to moisturize the skin. Creams and lotions are the
only skin care applications that moisturize and nourish at the
same time.
Here's a quick, inexpensive and easy
packaging idea; Removing labels off empty glass jars. Relish jars, olive
jars and baby food jars all work well. Spray paint the lids with a granite
spray. Hand lotion recipes packaged in a cobalt bottle or a brushed aluminum bottle
always present well. Or, place your almond body lotion recipe in
decorative bottles. For an added touch, write the recipe on a little card
and tie the recipe onto the bottle with ribbon or raffia.
