Uh oh! Winters arriving soon, & it's time to start caring for our skin. Our skin becomes dry from baths, winds, or indoor heaters. The solution to this irritating skin is B-O-D-Y O-I-L-S body oils. They make your skin soft & moisturized. You should use them right after a shower. That way the oil the oil can seep in & hydrate your skin. Your skin is like a sponge, soaking up all the healthy oil. You only need to apply a small amount, because a little goes a longggg way.
I have used body oils. They have made my skin feel luxurious. It makes my skin baby soft. You can make homemade body oils. That we they will be more free of chemicals, but you can buy them in a store.
I like in the article how she explains the effects of the body oils. She explains the ingredients and steps of homemade body oils. The 3 types of homemade oils she talks about is coconut, rose, & lavender body oils.
You need an airtight storage container for the Coconut Body Oil. You need to mix 1 cup of jojoba, coconut, & grapeseed oil in the container. If you want to you may add 4-5 drops of essential oil. You then blend all of the ingredients together & store it. Before you use the body oil shake the container to activate the oils.
You need an airtight storage container for the Rose Body Oil. You only need 2 ingredients, 1 cup of rose petals & sweet almond or olive oil. Take the rose petal & squeeze it into the container, so the oil will come out. Put the sweet almond or olive oil on top of the rose petal. Shake the container gently, so everything combines. Place the mixture in storage for 3-5 days.
You need an airtight storage container for the Lavender Body Oil. The ingredients are dried lavender flowers & almond, jojoba, sesame, or safflower oil. The same as you do to the rose petals you do for the lavender petals. Then pour the other oil on top. Gently shake it up, then store it for 3-5 days.
Use these to give your skin a silky soft feeling & a flattering subtle glow.
