uk, and I'm going to show you how to make your own products, and all very easily, and all in the comfort of your own home. I'm going to show you how to make homemade lotion. Now, it won't quite rival what you'd expect to buy from a beauty brand, but it is really good for skin, and it's great value, too.
And it's great to use lotion on your body, because it helps moisturize, it puts back nutrients and hydration, and it also gives some protection, too. And this is a basic recipe made from easy to find organic and vegan ingredients, and all you need is one teaspoon of carnauba wax. And all the ingredients you can get from health stores or Aromantic.
Five tablespoons of jojoba oil, which is really moisturizing, and lovely, and antioxidant, too. And then prepare a double boiler and put the oil and the wax on to heat. Now, the wax is what gives the product the consistency.
And the only other things you'll need are one teaspoon of aloe vera gel, which is soothing and hydrating, and two drops of rose essential oil, which is conditioning for skin, and it gives a nice scent as well. And once everything's melted in the boiler, remove it from the heat, and then mix. I would continue to mix until it starts to cool and thicken, and become room temperature.
And once at room temperature, you can add your aloe vera gel, one teaspoon full. And mix that in, and give it a really good whisk, followed by your two drops of rose oil, and again, mix thoroughly. And there you have your lotion, and it can be used anywhere over the body. .
